Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
The repeat() method in JavaScript returns a new string by concatenating the original string a specified number of times.
Syntax:
string.repeat(count);Parameters:
This method accepts a single parameter.
- count: count is an integer value that shows the number of times to repeat the given string. The range of the integer "count" is from zero (0) to infinity.
Return values:
It returns a new string that contains the specified number of copies of the string.
Example 1: Repeating a String Twice Using repeat()
The code repeats the string "forGeeks" two times using the repeat() method, creating a new string "forGeeksforGeeks". This method returns a new string with the original string repeated the specified number of times.
let str = "forGeeks";
let repeatCount = str.repeat(2);
console.log(repeatCount);
Output
forGeeksforGeeks
Example 2: Repeating a String Five Times Using repeat()
The code repeats the string "gfg" five times using the repeat() method, resulting in the string "gfggfggfggfggfg". This method returns a new string with the original string repeated the specified number of times.
// Taking a string "gfg"
let str = "gfg";
// Repeating the string multiple times
let repeatCount = str.repeat(5);
console.log(repeatCount);
Output
gfggfggfggfggfg
Example 3: Repeating a String Two Times Using repeat()
The code repeats the string "gfg" two times using the repeat() method. Even though the repeat count is 2.9, it's converted to 2, resulting in "gfggfg" as the output.
// Taking a string "gfg"
let str = "gfg";
// Repeating the string 2.9 times i.e, 2 times
// because 2.9 converted into 2
let repeatCount = str.repeat(2.9);
console.log(repeatCount);
Output
gfggfg
