Generating a list with duplicate entries
$begingroup$
How can I get a function that gives the following output?
listX = {a, b, c, d}
numberX = 3
myDuplicatesList[listX, numberX]
{{a,a,a},{b,b,b},{c,c,c},{d,d,d}}

Alternatively:
listX = {a, b, c};
numberX = 3;
Table[ConstantArray[i, numberX], {i, listX}]
{{a, a, a}, { b, b, b}, {c, c, c}}
Or:
listX = {a, b, c, d};

I like using KroneckerProduct for problems like this:
KroneckerProduct[listX, ConstantArray[1, numberX]]
{{a, a, a}, {b, b, b}, {c, c, c}, {d, d, d}}
The KroneckerProduct approach should be much faster than the others for large vectors.
