# repeat(_:count:)

Creates an action that repeats another action a specified number of times.

```
class func `repeat`(_ action: SCNAction, count: Int) -> SCNAction
```

## Parameters

`action`

The action to be executed.

`count`

The number of times to execute the action.

## Return Value

A new action object.

## Discussion

When the action executes, the associated action runs to completion and then repeats, until the count is reached.

This action is reversible; it creates a new action that is the reverse of the specified action and then repeats it the same number of times.
