repeated

repeated(x[, n::Int])

An iterator that generates the value x forever. If n is specified, generates x that many times (equivalent to take(repeated(x), n)).

Examples

Generate an infinite iterator of a single value:
```
julia> it = repeated(10);
julia> collect(take(it, 5))
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
10
10
10
10
10
```
In this example, repeated(10) creates an infinite iterator that generates the value 10 forever. take(it, 5) limits the iterator to generate only 5 values, which are then collected into an array.
Generate a specific number of repeated values:
```
julia> collect(repeated("Hello", 3))
3-element Array{String,1}:
"Hello"
"Hello"
"Hello"
```
The repeated function can also generate a specific number of repeated values. In this example, repeated("Hello", 3) generates the string "Hello" three times, which are then collected into an array.
Use repeated with other functions:
```
julia> sum(repeated(2, 5))
10
```
repeated can be combined with other functions. Here, repeated(2, 5) generates the value 2 five times, and sum is used to calculate the sum of these repeated values.

Common mistake example:

julia> it = repeated(3, -2)
ERROR: ArgumentError: Number of repetitions must be non-negative

In this example, a negative value is provided for the number of repetitions (n). The documentation clearly states that the number of repetitions should be non-negative, so it's important to ensure that a valid value is used for n when using repeated.
