The JavaScript exception "repeat count must be less than infinity" occurs when the String.prototype.repeat() method is used with a count argument that is infinity.
The JavaScript exception "repeat count must be less than infinity" occurs when the String.prototype.repeat() method is used with a count argument that is infinity.
RangeError: Invalid string length (V8-based) RangeError: Invalid count value: Infinity (V8-based) RangeError: repeat count must be less than infinity and not overflow maximum string size (Firefox) RangeError: Out of memory (Safari) RangeError: String.prototype.repeat argument must be greater than or equal to 0 and not be Infinity (Safari)
The String.prototype.repeat() method has been used. It has a count parameter indicating the number of times to repeat the string. It must be between 0 and less than positive Infinity and cannot be a negative number. The range of allowed values can be described like this: [0, +∞).
The resulting string can also not be larger than the maximum string size, which can differ in JavaScript engines. In Firefox (SpiderMonkey) the maximum string size is 230 - 2 (~2GiB).
"abc".repeat(Infinity); // RangeError "a".repeat(2 ** 30); // RangeError
"abc".repeat(0); // '' "abc".repeat(1); // 'abc' "abc".repeat(2); // 'abcabc' "abc".repeat(3.5); // 'abcabcabc' (count will be converted to integer)
