Study Notes

Kotlin Overview

Kotlin is a modern programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
It shares the JVM platform with languages like Groovy, Scala, and Jython.
Kotlin is developed by JetBrains, creators of IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and more.
Kotlin was open-sourced in 2012 under the Apache 2 license.
Google provides first-class support for Kotlin in the Android platform, announced at Google I/O 2017.
The name "Kotlin" originates from an island near St. Petersburg, Russia, where much of the Kotlin team is located.

Kotlin Syntax

The fun keyword is used to define functions in Kotlin.
The main() function is the entry point of a Kotlin program, similar to main() in Java.
Code inside the main() function's curly brackets {} is executed.
println() is a function used to print output to the console.
Program arguments can be passed via the Run/Debug configuration.

Kotlin Variables

Variables in Kotlin use var for mutable values and val for immutable values.
var variableName = value declares a mutable variable.
val variableName = value declares an immutable variable.
Variable values are assigned using the = operator.
Type inference (Kotlin automatically determines the type) is often used, though types can be explicitly declared.

Kotlin Keywords

Hard Keywords: Keywords with a specific meaning: as, break, class, continue, do, else, false, while, this, throw, try, super, and when. These cannot be used as variable names, function names, or other identifiers.
Soft Keywords: Keywords that can be used as identifiers in specific contexts: file, finally, get, import, receiver, set, constructor, delegate, get, by, and where. These can be used as identifiers unless used in a predefined context.
Modifier Keywords: These modify declarations: abstract, actual, annotation, companion, enum, final, infix, inline, lateinit, operator, and open.

Kotlin Operators

Mathematical operators: +, -, *, /, % operate as expected.
Augmented assignment operators: +=, -=, *=, /=, %= provide shortcuts.
Logical operators: && (short-circuit AND), || (short-circuit OR), ! (NOT) control complex operations.
Comparison operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=.
=== (referential equality) and !== (not referential equality) compare the references, not the values of objects.

Kotlin Basic Types (Numbers)

Kotlin supports numeric types: Double, Float, Int, Long, Byte, Short.
Each type has a specific bit width (e.g., Int is 32 bits).
Member functions like toByte(), toShort(), etc., exist for type conversion.

Kotlin Characters

Characters in Kotlin are not directly represented as numbers.
Character literals are enclosed in single quotes ('a'), unlike strings, which use double quotes ("string").
The toUpperCase() and toLowerCase() functions convert characters to upper or lower case, respectively.

Kotlin Booleans

Boolean literals: true and false.
Kotlin does not have truthy/falsy values.
Explicit boolean values must be declared and used in conditions.

Kotlin Arrays

Arrays in Kotlin are a generic class with a type parameter.
Use arrayOf() to create an array directly or arrayOfNulls() for initializing an array with null elements.
Array elements are accessed by index (e.g., cars[0]).
The size property returns the number of elements in the array.
The in operator checks for element existence.
for loops iterate over array elements.

Kotlin Strings

Strings are represented as an object.
Use the length property to determine the string's length.
String functions include toUpperCase(), toLowerCase(), compareTo(), indexOf(), and more.
String templates use ${variableName} to insert variables directly into the string.

Kotlin Conditions (if, else, elsif)

Kotlin uses if statements to execute code blocks based on conditions.
else provides an alternative code block if the condition is false.
else if allows testing multiple conditions sequentially.
if statements can also be expressed as expressions, returning a value as a part of the statement
