The string.repeat() is an inbuilt method in JavaScript that is used to build a new string containing a specified number of copies of the string on which this method has been called.
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.
Below is an example of the string.repeat() Method.
Example 1: In this example, we will repeat the string value two times using the string.repeat() method and print it in the console.
Javascript
let str = "forGeeks";let repeatCount = str.repeat(2);console.log(repeatCount); |

Example 2: In this example, we will repeat the string value five times using the string.repeat() method and print it in the console.
Javascript
// Taking a string "gfg"let str = "gfg";// Repeating the string multiple timeslet repeatCount = str.repeat(5);console.log(repeatCount); |

Example 3: In this example, we will repeat the string value 2.9 times using the string.repeat() method, we will see that it only prints two times as 2.9 is converted to 2.
Javascript
// Taking a string "gfg"let str = "gfg";// Repeating the string 2.9 times i.e, 2 times// because 2.9 converted into 2let repeatCount = str.repeat(2.9);console.log(repeatCount); |

Example: In this example,we are using a for loop, we iterate repeatCount times and concatenate the original string
Javascript
let str = "Geeks";let repeatCount = 3;let repeatedStr = "";for (let i = 0; i < repeatCount; i++) { repeatedStr += str;}console.log(repeatedStr); |
