Way to ng-repeat defined number of times instead of repeating over array?

Question

Is there a way to ng-repeat a defined number of times instead of always having to iterate over an array?

For example, below I want the list item to show

Answer 1

since iterating over a string it will render an item for each char:

   {{$index}} //THIS DOESN'T ANSWER OP'S QUESTION. Read below.

we can use this ugly but no-code workaround using the number|n decimal places native filter.

 

    {{$index}}
 

this way we'll have mynumber elements with no extra code. Say '0.000'.
We use mynumber - 2 to compensate 0.
It won't work for numbers below 3, but might be useful in some cases.
