Int.times()

When writing yesterday’s post about iterating through a range or collection and using the underscore to throw away the item, I had in the back of my mind that there should be a more straightforward way of doing something a number of times.

Just to re-iterate (lol), here’s the issue. If we want to print “Here’s the thing” three times, in Swift the simplest we can do is:

for _ in 1…3 { print(“Here’s the thing”) }
