Enumerable.Repeat<TResult> Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Generates a sequence that contains one repeated value.

Namespace:  System.Linq
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function Repeat(Of TResult) ( _
    element As TResult, _
    count As Integer _
) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)
public static IEnumerable<TResult> Repeat<TResult>(
    TResult element,
    int count
)

Type Parameters

  • TResult
    The type of the value to be repeated in the result sequence.

Parameters

  • element
    Type: TResult
    The value to be repeated.
  • count
    Type: System.Int32
    The number of times to repeat the value in the generated sequence.

Return Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<TResult>
An IEnumerable<T> that contains a repeated value.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

count is less than 0.

Remarks

This method is implemented by using deferred execution. The immediate return value is an object that stores all the information that is required to perform the action. The query represented by this method is not executed until the object is enumerated either by calling its GetEnumerator method directly or by using foreach in Visual C# or For Each in Visual Basic.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Repeat<TResult> to generate a sequence of a repeated value.

      ' Repeat the same string to create a sequence.
      Dim sentences As IEnumerable(Of String) = _
          Enumerable.Repeat("I like programming.", 15)

      Dim output As New System.Text.StringBuilder
      For Each sentence As String In sentences
         output.AppendLine(sentence)
      Next

      ' Display the output.
      outputBlock.Text &= output.ToString() & vbCrLf

      ' This code produces the following output:
      '
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.
      ' I like programming.

      IEnumerable<string> strings =
          Enumerable.Repeat("I like programming.", 15);

      foreach (String str in strings)
      {
         outputBlock.Text += str + "\n";
      }

      /*
       This code produces the following output:

       I like programming.
       I like programming.
       I like programming.
       I like programming.
       I like programming.
       I like programming.

       I like programming.
       I like programming.

       I like programming.
       I like programming.
       I like programming.
       I like programming.
