JavaScript String repeat() Method Examples

Example 1: Repeating a String Twice Using repeat()

The code repeats the string “forGeeks” two times using the repeat() method, creating a new string “forGeeksforGeeks”. This method returns a new string with the original string repeated the specified number of times.

JavaScript

let str = "forGeeks";
let repeatCount = str.repeat(2);
console.log(repeatCount);

Output

forGeeksforGeeks

Example 2: Repeating a String Five Times Using repeat()

The code repeats the string “gfg” five times using the repeat() method, resulting in the string “gfggfggfggfggfg”. This method returns a new string with the original string repeated the specified number of times.

JavaScript

// Taking a string "gfg"
let str = "gfg";

// Repeating the string multiple times
let repeatCount = str.repeat(5);
console.log(repeatCount);

Output

gfggfggfggfggfg

Example 3: Repeating a String Two Times Using repeat()

The code repeats the string “gfg” two times using the repeat() method. Even though the repeat count is 2.9, it’s converted to 2, resulting in “gfggfg” as the output.

JavaScript

// Taking a string "gfg"
let str = "gfg";

// Repeating the string 2.9 times i.e, 2 times
// because 2.9 converted into 2
let repeatCount = str.repeat(2.9);
console.log(repeatCount);

Output

gfggfg
