repeat-n
repeat-n
(control module) -- evaluates self num times
Syntax
repeat-n self num
Inputs
| name | data type(s) | comments |
|---|---|---|
| self | any | |
| num | a positive integer |
Output
| output | data type(s) | comments |
|---|---|---|
| first | a list or tree | the results of repeated evaluations of self |
Description
repeat-n evaluates the connection to its first output num times, and collects the results into a list. It can be used to create a list of repeated values or to evaluate a function repeatedly
Examples
Creating a repeating list with repeat-n
Here we give 1 and 5 to repeat-n . The 1 is evaluated 5 times:
? OM->(1 1 1 1 1)
Using repeat-n to evaluate a function
Here we use a function instead of a numerical expression. Note that the function is not in lambda mode. Since nth-random returns a random element from the list each time, a possible output might be:
? OM->(“mikhail” “gerard” “hello” “carlos” “hello”)
