Hi everyone, first topic here! currently I’m finishing the ‘Programming Elixir 1.3’ book and I wondered about something…

The String.duplicate\2 function name is not clear… I say this because, at least in my point of view when I say duplicate it automatically referts to make it twice (What’s the meaning of duplicate 3 times ??)

So String.duplicate("a") would return "aa"

It would be something like String.replicate\2 or String.repeat\2 (Replicate n-times or repeat n-times).

I hope I get understood, English isn’t my native language and I’m just learning Elixir at the moment.

Thanks for the wonderful community.

Kisses to everyone
