4/// Creates a new iterator that endlessly repeats a single element.
5///
6/// The `repeat()` function repeats a single value over and over again.
7///
8/// Infinite iterators like `repeat()` are often used with adapters like
9/// [`Iterator::take()`], in order to make them finite.
10///
11/// Use [`str::repeat()`] instead of this function if you just want to repeat
12/// a char/string `n`th times.
13///
14/// If the element type of the iterator you need does not implement `Clone`,
15/// or if you do not want to keep the repeated element in memory, you can
16/// instead use the [`repeat_with()`] function.
17///
18/// [`repeat_with()`]: crate::iter::repeat_with
19/// [`str::repeat()`]: ../../std/primitive.str.html#method.repeat
20///
21/// # Examples
22///
23/// Basic usage:
24///
25/// ```
26/// use std::iter;
27///
28/// // the number four 4ever:
29/// let mut fours = iter::repeat(4);
30///
31/// assert_eq!(Some(4), fours.next());
32/// assert_eq!(Some(4), fours.next());
33/// assert_eq!(Some(4), fours.next());
34/// assert_eq!(Some(4), fours.next());
35/// assert_eq!(Some(4), fours.next());
36///
37/// // yup, still four
38/// assert_eq!(Some(4), fours.next());
39/// ```
40///
41/// Going finite with [`Iterator::take()`]:
42///
43/// ```
44/// use std::iter;
45///
46/// // that last example was too many fours. Let's only have four fours.
47/// let mut four_fours = iter::repeat(4).take(4);
48///
49/// assert_eq!(Some(4), four_fours.next());
50/// assert_eq!(Some(4), four_fours.next());
51/// assert_eq!(Some(4), four_fours.next());
52/// assert_eq!(Some(4), four_fours.next());
53///
54/// // ... and now we're done
55/// assert_eq!(None, four_fours.next());
56/// ```
