Template:Loop

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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}}}}	202620262026
{{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 Template:Ml instead to preserve it.

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