Template:Loop

This template is used to produce a simple loop. It is based on Module:String, and there is no limit to the number of iterations it can perform.

Usage

{{loop|times to repeat|string}}

If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".

Examples

Code Output
{{loop|4|n}} nnnn
{{loop|25|test me}} test metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest metest me
{{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}} 2.2517998136852E+15
{{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}} 202420242024
{{loop|{{#expr:7*2}}|  '''MUDA}}!   MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA  MUDA!

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{=}}.

Code Output
{{loop|9|2==}} =========
{{loop|9|{{=}}}} =========

Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{#invoke:string|rep}} instead to preserve it.

Code Output
{{#invoke:String|rep| hello |3}} hello hello hello
{{loop|3| hello }} hellohellohello
