Underscore.js _.times() Function

Underscore.js is a JavaScript library that makes operations on arrays, string, objects much easier and handy. 
The _.times() function in underscore.js is used to call the function a particular number of times i.e. execution of a function(f) “n” number of times.

Note: It is very necessary to link the underscore CDN before going and using underscore functions in the browser. When linking the underscore.js CDN link, the “_” is attached to the browser as a global variable.

Syntax:

_.times(n, iteratee)

Parameters:It takes following parameters:

  • n: It tells how many times a function is needed to be executed.
  • iteratee : It is a function that is to be invoked n times.

Return Value: It produces an array of returned values and this array is returned by the function.

Example 1:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <script src=
    </script>
</head>
 
<body>
    <script>
        let n = 5
        let func = () => {
            console.log(`This function
                is called ${n} times \n`)
        }
 
        // The _.times function executes
        // the above func function n times
        _.times(n, func);
    </script>
</body>
 
</html>

Example 2:
