05 — Repeat: do something many times

Computers are great at doing the same thing many times. repeat runs a line or a block again and again.

#Steps

1. Create repeat.nme:

   repeat 3 times and show Again
   

   copyrun it →

   This prints Again three times. Korean is equally valid:

   3번 반복해서 다시 말해줘
   

   copyrun it →

2. When the count comes first, the rest of the line is repeated output:

   3 times Welcome to NME
   3번 안녕하세요
   

   copyrun it →

3. Several lines use indentation and no colon:

   repeat 3 times
       show First sentence
       둘째 문장 말해줘
   

   copyrun it →

4. Indentation can be optional: put end (or 끝) on its own line to close the block:

   repeat 3 times
   show one line
   show another line
   end
   

   copyrun it →

   The Korean twin uses 3번 반복해 and 끝.

5. Instead of a fixed count you can walk through a list, the one you made in 03 — Save:

   set friends to list of Mina, Ada
   for each friend in friends
   show Hello friend!
   end
   

   copyrun it →

   friend becomes the next value on every round. The Korean form is 친구들의 친구마다 반복해.

6. Sometimes a loop should wait between rounds:

   repeat 3 times
   wait 1 second
   show tick
   end
   

   copyrun it →

   Korean is 1초 기다려, and wait 3 seconds waits longer.

#Try it yourself

Repeat a greeting five times, mixing both languages:

repeat 5 times
show Hello!
반가워요! 말해줘
end

#What you learned

• repeat 3 times and show Again prints one line three times.
• 3 times Welcome to NME / 3번 안녕하세요 repeat the rest of the line.
• An indented block repeats every indented line.
• repeat 3 times ... end closes a flat block without indentation.
• for each friend in friends walks through a list, one value per round.
• wait 1 second pauses right there.
