Is there an alternative for repeat that allows to assign the result: val created = repeat(n){ create_something()}? Doing (1..n).map{ create_something() } does not feel elegant.

I can certainly create it myself with fun <T> repeat(n:Int, builder: (Int) -> T) = (1..n).map{ builder(it)} but I wonder why it's not part of stdlib? It also does not really work well, because somehow it's not resolved when being placed in some other source file that is different from that which contains the call site.

there is
val numbers = List(10) { it * 2 } that's nice enough for me

are they in the same package? otherwise it needs to be imported

@Milan Hruban Great solution. Thanks!

[holgerbrandl]

Yeah, I just figured that out. Thanks @ephemient

And, indeed somehow the import was missing. I was relying on the IDE but somehow it missed it initially.
