.rept
countRepeat the sequence of lines between the .rept
directive and the next
.endr

.rept 3 .long 0 .endr
is equivalent to assembling
.long 0 .long 0 .long 0
A count of zero is allowed, but nothing is generated. Negative counts are not allowed and if encountered will be treated as if they were zero.
