R function rep() in Python (replicates elements of a list/vector)

Question

The R function rep() replicates each element of a vector:

> rep(c(\"A\",\"B\"), times=2)
[1] \"A\" \"B\" \"A\" \"B\"

This is like the list m

Answer 1

What do you think about this way?

To repeat a value:

>>> repetitions=[]
>>> torep=3
>>> nrep=5
>>> for i in range(nrep):
>>>     i=torep
>>>     repetitions.append(i)
[3, 3, 3, 3, 3]

To repeat a sequence:

>>> repetitions=[]
>>> torep=[1,2,3,4]
>>> nrep= 2
>>> for i in range(nrep):
>>>     repetitions=repetitions+torep
>>> print(repetitions)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4]
