Class delegation

Let's rewrite the CalculatorMachine class in Kotlin:

class CalculatorMachine(private val delegate: Calculator): Calculator by delegate

That's it. Now you can use the CalculatorMachine class written in Kotlin similarly to the version written in Java:

fun main (args: Array<String>) {
    CalculatorMachine(CalculatorBrain())
}

You can see that the compiler generates the same bytecode for the Kotlin version of the CalculatorMachine class as for the Java version:

public final class delegation/kotlin/CalculatorMachine implements delegation/Calculator  {
    
    private final Ldelegation/Calculator; delegate
    
    public <init>(Ldelegation/Calculator;)V
    @Lorg/jetbrains/annotations/NotNull;() // invisible, parameter 0
    L0
    ALOAD 1
    LDC "delegate"
