/**
* Trait providing an implicit conversion that adds a times method to Ints that
* will repeat a given side-effecting operation multiple times.
*
*
* Here's an example in which a friendly greeting is printed three times:
*
*
*
* 3 times println("Hello again, world!")
*
*
*
* Running the above code would yield this output:
*
*
*
* Hello again, world!
* Hello again, world!
* Hello again, world!
*
*
*
* If you need to repeat a block of statements multiple times, just enclose them in parentheses, like this:
*
*
*
* 2 times {
* print("Hello ")
* print("again, ")
* println("world!")
* }
*
*
*
* Running the above code would yield:
*
*
*
* Hello again, world!
* Hello again, world!
*
*
*
* This trait enables times to be invoked on 0 and any positive integer,
* but attempting to invoke times on a negative integer will result in an IllegalArgumentException.
