Repeat v0.1.0

Package: Text

Signature

func Repeat(self, count: uint) -> String;

Parameters

Returns

A new String holding the receiver's bytes count times over, in a block of its own. The receiver is left untouched. Repeating zero times, or repeating the empty string, yields the empty string.

The block is sized up front — it goes through a StringBuilder built with WithCapacity — so this costs one allocation rather than one per round.

Example

import Text::String;

func Main() -> int {
    var dash = String::From("-");

    var rule = dash.Repeat(20); // "--------------------"
    rule.Length();              // 20

    rule.Free();
    dash.Free();
    return 0;
}
