Is there a way in Javascript to write something like this easily:

[1,2,3].times do {
  something();
}

Any library that might support some similar syntax maybe?

Update: to clarify - I would like something() to be called 1,2 and 3 times respectively for each array element iteration

Answer

Just use a loop:

var times = 10;
for(var i=0; i < times; i++){
    doSomething();
}
