Android-Kotlin Digest #1
Planning to journal updates on my learning in Android and Kotlin development. This would be mostly from an iOS developer's perspective . I will be writing gist of what I learnt today and anything specific interesting. To start off below are some things I learnt in Kotlin and differences with Swift. Some basics of Kotlin: var of mutable variables val of immutable variables / constants Adding variable value in a string "The value of variable is $variable_name" Suffix ? for variables holding null values Also has a javascript big arrow => function like syntax: fun sum(a: Int, b: Int) : Int = a + b Conditionals: `if (obj is String) { ... }` and not checks `if (obj !is String) { ... }` I found switch statements most unique till now: when (obj) { 1 -> "One" // (case) "Hello" -> "Greeting"...
