/**
* Repeats a string a specified number of times and returns the concatenated result.
*
* ## Method
*
* The algorithmic trick used in the implementation is to treat string concatenation the same as binary addition (i.e., any natural number (nonnegative integer) can be expressed as a sum of powers of two).
*
* For example,
*
* ```text
* n = 10 => 1010 => 2^3 + 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^0
* ```
*
* We can produce a 10-repeat string by "adding" the results of a 8-repeat string and a 2-repeat string.
*
* The implementation is then as follows:
*
* 1. Let `s` be the string to be repeated and `o` be an output string.
*
* 2. Initialize an output string `o`.
*
* 3. Check the least significant bit to determine if the current `s` string should be "added" to the output "total".
*
* - if the bit is a one, add
* - otherwise, move on
*
* 4. Double the string `s` by adding `s` to `s`.
*
* 5. Right-shift the bits of `n`.
*
* 6. Check if we have shifted off all bits.
*
* - if yes, done.
* - otherwise, move on
*
* 7. Repeat 3-6.
*
* The result is that, as the string is repeated, we continually check to see if the doubled string is one which we want to add to our "total".
*
* The algorithm runs in `O(log_2(n))` compared to `O(n)`.
*
* @private
* @param {string} str - string to repeat
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} n - number of times to repeat the string
* @returns {string} repeated string
*
* @example
* var str = repeat( 'a', 5 );
* // returns 'aaaaa'
*
* @example
* var str = repeat( '', 100 );
* // returns ''
*
* @example
* var str = repeat( 'beep', 0 );
* // returns ''
