15.5 Local Functions

A local function is a function that is embedded within another function. In addition, a local function has access to all of the variables contained within the enclosing function:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {

 

    val name = "John"

    val count = 5

 

    fun displayString() {

        for (index in 0..count) {

            println(name)

        }

    }

    displayString()

}
