Usage
Example Use Cases
- Placeholders: Create 5 "Loading..." items to show skeleton UI while data loads.
- Grid Initialization: Create an array of 64
0s for a chess board representation.
- Padding: Pad a list to ensure it has a minimum length.
Detailed Behavior
- Type Conversion: If
Element is a string that looks like a number (e.g., "42"), it tries to convert it to a number.
- New Array: Always creates a new array instance.
Troubleshooting
- Size Limit: Capped at 1 million items to prevent crashes.
