✨ lrepeat(n) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the lrepeat page, from the Tcl Built-In Commands collection 💖 this one's a lil cutie and you're gonna be obsessed.

🎀 NAME 🎀

lrepeat — build a list by repeating elements 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lrepeat count ?element ...?

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: lrepeat makes a list whose size is count multiplied by the number of elements, by repeating the sequence of elements element ... exactly count times. slay ✨

  • count has to be a non-negative integer, no cap 🫶
  • element can be literally any Tcl value, anything, go feral

also lowkey important: lrepeat 1 element ... is identical to list element ... 💀 like it's the same thing bestie, they're twins.

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

lrepeat 3 a
      → a a a
lrepeat 3 [lrepeat 3 0]
      → {0 0 0} {0 0 0} {0 0 0}
lrepeat 3 a b c
      → a b c a b c a b c
lrepeat 3 [lrepeat 2 a] b c
      → {a a} b c {a a} b c {a a} b c

look at that. the way that nested one just works? main character energy fr fr 👑
