# Repeated

A collection whose elements are all identical.

```
@frozen struct Repeated<Element>
```

## Overview

You create an instance of the `Repeated` collection by calling the
`repeatElement(_:count:)` function. The following example creates a
collection containing the name “Humperdinck” repeated five times:

```
let repeatedName = repeatElement("Humperdinck", count: 5)
for name in repeatedName {
    print(name)
}
// "Humperdinck"
// "Humperdinck"
// "Humperdinck"
// "Humperdinck"
// "Humperdinck"
```
