A "repeat" statement has the form
repeat (<expression>) <statement>
The statement is repeated the number of times indicated by the
rounded value of the expression. For example, the following program
creates five balls at random positions.
{
repeat (5) instance_create(random(400), random(400), obj_ball);
}
This can be very useful to avoid typing out the same code multiple
times, or for using arrays, or for counting through a number of
operations etc... For example:
{
var i, total;
i = 0;
total = 0;
repeat (10)
{
total += array[i];
i += 1
}
draw_text(32, 32, total);
}
