Basic Iteration: repeat-n
repeat-n is a iterator utility which evaluates its first input a number of times (determined by its second input), and collects/returns the successive results as a list.
See also: Advanced iterations: loops
Contrary to a function like create-list, repeat-n actually repeats the evaluation of the input several times. As such, its collected results can vary and depend on program states.
Scope
The optional input scope affects the behavior of boxes that are connected to it, and in the eval-once state.
- If
scope=:local(default) each iteration ofrepeat-nreinitializes the “eval-once context”, and boxes are evaluated again at the first time of the next iteration. - If
scope=:globalthe “eval-once context” is not modified byrepeat-niterations.
