ArrayList.Repeat(Object, Int32) Method

Definition

Returns an ArrayList whose elements are copies of the specified value.

public:
 static System::Collections::ArrayList ^ Repeat(System::Object ^ value, int count);
public static System.Collections.ArrayList Repeat (object value, int count);
public static System.Collections.ArrayList Repeat (object? value, int count);
static member Repeat : obj * int -> System.Collections.ArrayList
Public Shared Function Repeat (value As Object, count As Integer) As ArrayList

Parameters

value
Object

The Object to copy multiple times in the new ArrayList. The value can be null.

count
Int32

The number of times value should be copied.

Returns

An ArrayList with count number of elements, all of which are copies of value.

Exceptions

count is less than zero.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create and initialize a new ArrayList with the same value.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList );
int main()
{
   
   // Creates a new ArrayList with five elements and initialize each element with a null value.
   ArrayList^ myAL = ArrayList::Repeat( 0, 5 );
   
   // Displays the count, capacity and values of the ArrayList.
   Console::WriteLine( "ArrayList with five elements with a null value" );
   Console::WriteLine( "   Count    : {0}", myAL->Count );
   Console::WriteLine( "   Capacity : {0}", myAL->Capacity );
   Console::Write( "   Values:" );
   PrintValues( myAL );
   
   // Creates a new ArrayList with seven elements and initialize each element with the string "abc".
   myAL = ArrayList::Repeat( "abc", 7 );
   
   // Displays the count, capacity and values of the ArrayList.
   Console::WriteLine( "ArrayList with seven elements with a string value" );
   Console::WriteLine( "   Count    : {0}", myAL->Count );
   Console::WriteLine( "   Capacity : {0}", myAL->Capacity );
   Console::Write( "   Values:" );
   PrintValues( myAL );
}

void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myList )
{
   IEnumerator^ myEnum = myList->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Object^ obj = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::Write( "   {0}", obj );
   }

   Console::WriteLine();
}

' ArrayList with seven elements with a string value

Remarks

ArrayList accepts null as a valid value and allows duplicate elements.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is count.
