[erlang-questions] Programming a recursive function that executes n times

[Ahmed Omar]

Time consuming sounds a bit vage , do you want it to be "busy" during that
time? or just "idle"?
- To consume time just "waiting", you can user timer:sleep/1 , or do a
receive
- To repeat a task for N of times you can , lists:foreach(fun(_)->
test_mnesia:busqueda(cars)
end, lists:seq(1,N)).

Hope you found what you need
