Summary
In this chapter, we have covered the main objectives of the Kotlin programming language. We explored how to declare variables, understand basic data types, and handle null values using null safety. We also discussed type inference, which allows the compiler to automatically determine variable types.
We delved into controlling the flow of a program using important commands such as if
, when
, for
, and while
. Additionally, we examined the keywords used to define classes and interfaces, including class
, interface
, data class
, and abstract class
. We learned how to create new classes, implement interfaces, and utilize class inheritance.
Furthermore, we emphasized the importance of design patterns in Kotlin and discussed why they are used. This knowledge enables you to develop practical and type-safe programs in Kotlin. While there are many other aspects of the language to explore, we will cover them in future chapters as we encounter real-world applications that require their...
