How many amplitudes does a Simple Harmonic Oscillator $(SHO)$ cover in half of its time period?

$Assertion :$ In simple harmonic motion,the motion is to and fro and periodic.
$Reason :$ Velocity of the particle $(v) = \omega \sqrt {A^2 - x^2}$ (where $x$ is the displacement and $A$ is the amplitude).

Explain periodic function.
