Common Lisp equivalent of Haskell's replicate?

Question

replicate is a function that takes an integer and a sequence and returns the sequence repeated n times.

E.g. replicate 3 ["a"] returns ["a", "a", "a"]

Does Common Lisp have an equivalent function, or do I have to write one?

(make-sequence 'list n :initial-element element)

Thanks! I know a lot of these helpful functions exist, just not their names. – Menstruum

Answer 2

Use make-list

(make-list 3 :initial-element 'a)

It evaluates to

(A A A)

maybe (make-list 3 :initial-element '(a))? – Synapsis
