loop / repeat

Create an object that behaves like a stream that returns values for a limited (or infinite) number of times.

For a full list of implementing classes, see Methods: loop and Methods: repeat

Function: -loop

repeats the function forever.

    f = { 3.yield };
    x = Routine({ f.loop });
    10.do({ x.next.postln })

Object: -repeat (n)

repeat to yield the object

    x = 5;
    y = x.repeat(6);
    y.nextN(8);

Pattern: -repeat (n)

    x = Prand([1, 2]).repeat(6).asStream;
    x.nextN(8);

Pattern: -loop

    x = Prand([1, 2]).loop.asStream;
    x.nextN(8);

Stream: -repeat (n)

embeds the stream repeatedly

    x = Routine({ 3.do({ arg i; i.yield }) }).repeat(6);
    x.nextN(8);

Stream: -loop

embeds the stream repeatedly

    x = Routine({ 3.do({ arg i; i.yield }) }).loop;
    x.nextN(8);
