In Kotlin, you can convert arrays to lists and lists to arrays using standard library functions. Array to List Use toList(): val array = arrayOf("a", "b", "c") val list: List<String> = array.toList() println(list) // [a, b, c] If you want a mutable list, use toMutableList(): val array = arrayOf("a", "b", "c") val mutableList: MutableList<String> = […]
In Kotlin, you usually sort a list with sorted(): val numbers = listOf(5, 2, 8, 1) val sortedNumbers = numbers.sorted() println(sortedNumbers) // [1, 2, 5, 8] sorted() returns a new sorted list and does not change the original list. For descending order, use sortedDescending(): val numbers = listOf(5, 2, 8, 1) val sortedDescending = numbers.sortedDescending() […]
In Kotlin, use isEmpty() / isNotEmpty() to check whether a collection has elements, and use in, contains(), or map-specific methods to check contents. val names = listOf("Alice", "Bob") println(names.isEmpty()) // false println(names.isNotEmpty()) // true println("Alice" in names) // true println("Charlie" !in names) // true For lists and sets: val numbers = setOf(1, 2, 3) if […]
In Kotlin, you can access collection elements safely by using functions that return null instead of throwing exceptions when an index/key is missing. Lists / arrays: use getOrNull val items = listOf("A", "B", "C") val first = items.getOrNull(0) // "A" val missing = items.getOrNull(10) // null This is safer than: val missing = items[10] // […]
In Kotlin, you can loop through collections in several common ways depending on whether you need the element, the index, or both. 1. Using for Use for when you want a simple, readable loop over elements. val names = listOf("Alice", "Bob", "Charlie") for (name in names) { println(name) } Output: Alice Bob Charlie This works […]
In Kotlin, the main collection types are List, Set, and Map. Kotlin provides both read-only and mutable versions: Collection Read-only Mutable List List<T> MutableList<T> Set Set<T> MutableSet<T> Map Map<K, V> MutableMap<K, V> Lists A list is an ordered collection. It can contain duplicate elements. Read-only list val numbers = listOf(1, 2, 3, 3) println(numbers[0]) // […]
