Can you explain the concept of repeating in Swift and how it is used in code?

In Swift, there is no built-in concept of "repeating" as a keyword, but there is a repeat function in loops and a repeating parameter in some APIs.
For example, to create an array with repeated elements, an initializer is used:
let repeatedArray = Array(repeating: "Hello", count: 3)
print(repeatedArray) // ["Hello", "Hello", "Hello"]
There is also a repeat-while operator, which executes the loop at least once:
var i = 0
repeat {
print(i)
i += 1
} while i < 3
Thus, "repeating" is used for creating repeated elements or in repeat loops.
