Method: Polars::Expr#repeat_by

Defined in:
lib/polars/expr.rb

#repeat_by(by) ⇒ Expr

Repeat the elements in this Series as specified in the given expression.

The repeated elements are expanded into a List.

Examples:

df = Polars::DataFrame.new(
  {
    "a" => ["x", "y", "z"],
    "n" => [1, 2, 3]
  }
)
df.select(Polars.col("a").repeat_by("n"))
# =>
# shape: (3, 1)
# ┌─────────────────┐
# │ a               │
# │ ---             │
# │ list[str]       │
# ╞═════════════════╡
# │ ["x"]           │
# │ ["y", "y"]      │
# │ ["z", "z", "z"] │
# └─────────────────┘
