Enumerable.Repeat<TResult> Method

Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Linq.dll

Signature


                    public static IEnumerable<TResult> Repeat<TResult>(TResult element, int count)

Parameters

element (TResult): The element to repeat.
count (Int32): The number of times to repeat the element.

Returns

An IEnumerable<TResult> that contains a repeated sequence of the specified element.

Remarks

This method returns an enumerable collection that yields the specified element exactly count times.

If count is less than or equal to zero, an empty enumerable is returned.

Examples


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

public class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Create an enumerable that repeats the number 5 three times.
        IEnumerable<int> repeatedNumbers = Enumerable.Repeat(5, 3);

        // Output the elements.
        foreach (int num in repeatedNumbers)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(num);
        }
        // Output:
        // 5
        // 5
        // 5

        // Create an enumerable that repeats the string "hello" twice.
        IEnumerable<string> repeatedStrings = Enumerable.Repeat("hello", 2);

        foreach (string str in repeatedStrings)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(str);
        }
        // Output:
        // hello
        // hello
    }
