===Using a trampoline===
This routine is a bit messy, and assumes the called routine doesn't clobber the zero-page memory used to maintain it. This can be modified to push/pop those values before/after the routine is executed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="6502asm">macro RepeatProc,addr,count ;VASM macro syntax
; input: 
; addr = the label of the routine you wish to call repeatedly
; count = how many times you want to DO the procedure. 1 = once, 2 = twice, 3 = three times, etc. Enter "0" for 256 times.
lda #<\addr
sta z_L ;a label for a zero-page memory address
lda #>\addr
sta z_H ;a label for the zero-page memory address immediately after z_L
lda \count
jsr doRepeatProc
endm

doRepeatProc:
sta z_C   ;another zero-page memory location
loop_RepeatProc:
jsr Trampoline_RepeatProc
dec z_C
lda z_C
bne loop_RepeatProc
rts

Trampoline_RepeatProc:
db $6c,z_L,$00 
;when executed, becomes an indirect JMP to the address stored at z_L and z_H. Some assemblers will let you type
;JMP (z_L) and it will automatically replace it with the above during the assembly process.
;This causes an indirect JMP to the routine. Its RTS will return execution to just after the "JSR Trampoline_RepeatProc" 
;and flow into the loop overhead.</syntaxhighlight>

Once the macro and the underlying subroutine are created, this is very simple to use:
<syntaxhighlight lang="6502asm">RepeatProc foo,#20 ;perform the subroutine "foo" twenty times.</syntaxhighlight>
===Using self-modifying code===
This version requires that your "wrapper" executes in RAM, so that it can be modified. For this to work, it is assumed that the routine you're using doesn't clobber Y, or require that its parameters are passed in by A or X (so admittedly this method is a bit limited, but if you use the zero page to hold the parameters you can set them up prior to calling the wrapper itself.
<syntaxhighlight lang="6502asm">RepeatProc:
;input: low byte of desired function address in A
;       high byte of desired function address in X
;       repeat count in Y

STA smc_repeatproc+1
STX smc_repeatproc+2

This example code prints an exclamation point to the screen 4 times.
It is assumed that the functions called do not clobber A5 or D7, as doing so would cause undefined behavior (read: a crash or a program counter "escape.")

Note: Gambas (3.14.0) cannot perform this task as specified, as it does not have delegates, and pointers do not seem to work with procedures.  What does work is using Object.Call, which is intended for executing procedures from external libraries. However the accepting procedure must refer to the object containing the procedure, and refer to the procedure by a String name. In this case, the current module/class reference (Me) is used, but the String name must be passed. This arrangement will only work within the same module/class. It may be possible to pass the parent reference to a method (taking 3 parameters) in another class if the named procedure is Public. The empty array ([]) in Object.Call represent a procedure without parameters, which are not an explicit requirement for this Task, but might require another parameter to the accepting procedure.
<syntaxhighlight lang="gambas">

Functions are pure in Isabelle. They don't have side effects.
This means, the \<^const>‹pure_repeat› we implemented is always equal

or \<^typ>‹nat›.
Technically, functions are not even "executed", but only evaluated.

text‹
Technically, \<^typ>‹'a› is not a function. We can wrap it in a dummy function
which takes a \<^typ>‹unit› as first argument. This gives a function of type
\<^typ>‹unit ⇒ 'a›.

fun fun_repeat :: "(unit ⇒ 'a) ⇒ nat ⇒ 'a list" where

=={{header|jq}}==
{{works with|jq|1.4}}

We first define "repeat" naively but in accordance with the task
specification; we then define an optimized version that illustrates
a general technique for taking advantage of jq's support for
tail-call optimization (TCO).

Since jq is a purely functional language, repeat(f; n) is unlikely
to be very useful so we define a similar filter, repeatedly(f; n), which
generates n+1 terms: . (the input), f, f|f, ... ; that is, using
conventional functional notation, it generates: x, f(x), f(f(x)), ...

'''Unoptimized version''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def unoptimized_repeat(f; n):
  if n <= 0 then empty
  else f, repeat(f; n-1)
  end;</syntaxhighlight>

'''Optimized for TCO''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">def repeat(f; n):
  # state: [count, in]
  def r:
    if .[0] >= n then empty else (.[1] | f), (.[0] += 1 | r) end;
  [0, .] | r;</syntaxhighlight>
'''Variant''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq"># If n is a non-negative integer,
# then emit a stream of (n + 1) terms: ., f, f|f, f|f|f, ...
def repeatedly(f; n):
  # state: [count, in]
  def r:
    if .[0] < 0 then empty
    else .[1], ([.[0] - 1, (.[1] | f)] | r)
    end;
  [n, .] | r;</syntaxhighlight>

'''Examples''':
<syntaxhighlight lang="jq">0 | [ repeat(.+1; 3) ]</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|Quackery}}==

This is a function which is part of the Quackery language. ''times'' performs the word or nest after it the number of times specified on the stack. The definition is reproduced here, along with the additional functionality included in the language; ''i'' counts down to zero, ''i^'' counts up from zero, ''step'' specifies the increment size from an argument on the stack (default is 1), ''conclude'' sets the iteration countdown to the final value (0) and ''refresh'' sets the iteration countdown to the initial value. ''times'' is nestable, and words such as ''witheach'' (which makes use of ''times'' to iterate over a nest) inherit its additional functionality. 

The word ''rosetta-times'' is also defined here, using ''times''. It takes both the repeat number and the function as stack arguments.

Of course, we could have just written <pre style="display:inline; padding:0.3em">example() xx 3;</pre> or even <pre style="display:inline; padding:0.3em">(say rand) xx 3;</pre> directly &ndash; the custom <code>repeat</code> subroutine is just here to satisfy the task description.

Notes on the [http://doc.raku.org/language/operators#infix_xx <code>xx</code>] operator:

* Unlike other operators, it evaluates its left-hand-side argument lazily - that's why we can simply call <code>f()</code> there rather than passing it as a function object.
* The operator has a return value: A list consisting of the return values of the left-hand-side ''(and building lists is in fact what <code>xx</code> is usually used for)''.

General notes:
* The <code>&</code> sigil in the <code>repeat</code> subroutine signature restricts that parameter to types that implement the <code>Callable</code> role, and makes it available inside the <code>repeat</code> subroutine body as if it were a lexically scoped sub.
* The parentheses in the last line are necessary to disambiguate it as a call to our custom subroutine, rather than an attempt to use the built-in <code>repeat { ... } while ...</code> construct.

=={{header|Rust}}==

Rust has higher-order functions.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">fn repeat(f: impl FnMut(usize), n: usize) {
    (0..n).for_each(f);
}</syntaxhighlight>

Here we define the function <code>repeat</code> which takes the function <code>Fn(usize)</code>, which is an anonymous trait constraint by the <code>impl Trait</code> syntax, in such a way that it's size can be known statically at compile time. The range iterator <code>0..n</code> is used, in combination with the <code>Iterator::for_each</code> method to consume it.

=== Closure === 

It's idiomatic to use a closure.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">fn main() {
    repeat(|x| print!("{};", x), 5);
}</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}<pre>0;1;2;3;4;</pre>

=== Static Function ===

Also possible to define a static function.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">fn function(x: usize) {
    print!("{};", x);
}

fn main() {
    repeat(function, 4);
}</syntaxhighlight>

{{out}}<pre>0;1;2;3;</pre>

=== Static Method ===

Sometimes it may be convenient to call a static method.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">struct Foo;
impl Foo {
    fn associated(x: usize) {
        print!("{};", x);
    }
}

fn main() {
    repeat(Foo::associated, 8);
}</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}<pre>0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;</pre>

=== Trait Method ===

You can also use implemented trait-methods as a function-argument. This works because the implemented type is <code>usize</code> which is what the iterator supplied to <code>Fn(usize)</code>.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">trait Bar {
    fn run(self);
}

impl Bar for usize {
    fn run(self) {
        print!("{};", self);
    }
}

fn main() {
    repeat(Bar::run, 6);
}</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}<pre>0;1;2;3;4;5;</pre>

=== Mutable Closure === 

The most interesting application would probably be a mutable closure, which requires changing the type signature from <code>Fn</code> to <code>FnMut</code>, because they are constrained by slightly different rules, but otherwise work the same.

<syntaxhighlight lang="rust">fn repeat(f: impl FnMut(usize), n: usize) {
    (0..n).for_each(f);
}

fn main() {
    let mut mult = 1;
    repeat(|x| {
        print!("{};", x * mult);
        mult += x;
    }, 5);
}</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}<pre>0;1;4;12;28;</pre>

===Intuitive solution===
# Call by name

      def times[A](f: => A):Unit = {

        }
      loop(x)
    }
  }

  implicit class UnitWithNtimes(f: => Unit) {

      @tailrec
      def loop(current: Int): Unit =
        if (current > 0) {
          f
          loop(current - 1)

Scheme is mostly made up from expressions which return values.  However some functions, such as <tt>display</tt>, return 
an unspecified value.  The actual value returned varies depending on the Scheme implementation itself.

=== Return Trick ===
This technique is called the "Return Trick", it's efficient but makes the program more difficult to read. It works on the principle that the processor's RET command assumes the return address is the top item of the stack. The programmer can abuse this to "return" to a section of code that has never actually been executed. This is essentially just another form of the computed goto. Most processors that use the stack to store return addresses can use this technique, though the method of doing it depends on the processor itself.

<syntaxhighlight lang="z80">
ld b,&05  ;load the decrement value into b
ld hl,myFunc ;load the address of "myFunc" into HL

;this is effectively a call to whatever is in HL, in this case "myFunc." The "ret" at the end of myFunc will return us to 
;just after the line "call trampoline"


myFunc: ;this doesn't do anything useful but that's not the point
push hl ;not needed for this routine but if it altered HL we would need this so that we come back here next time we loop
or a
pop hl

=== Indirect Jump ===

Same as above but uses an indirect jump to the address in HL.
<syntaxhighlight lang="z80">trampoline:
jp (hl) ;despite the parentheses this does NOT dereference HL, it merely acts as "LD PC,HL".</syntaxhighlight>

===Using self-modifying code===
This method assumes the routine doesn't use the B register, or restores it before returning. Also, the actual "wrapper" used to repeat the passed function must be in RAM so that its instructions can be modified at runtime.
<syntaxhighlight lang="z80">
LD HL,myFunc
LD (repeatproc+1),HL
LD B,5 ;repeat count
CALL repeatProc

;somewhere far away from here:
repeatProc:
call &0000 ;gets overwritten with the address of MyFunc
djnz repeatProc
ret</syntaxhighlight>
