Kotlin

Introduction
Kotlin is a modern statically typed programming language

Expressive and concise

Safer code (provides nullability check)

Supports asynchronous programming using coroutines

Jetpack Compose (Android's modern UI toolkit) uses Kotlin

Variable declaration
Kotlin uses two different keywords to declare variables: val and var

Use val for a variable whose value never changes

You can't re-assign a value to a variable that was declared using val

Use var for a variable whose value can change


Variable declaration
In the example below, count is a variable of type Int that is assigned an
initial value of 10:

var count: Int = 10

Int is a type that represents an integer, one of the many numerical types that
can be represented in Kotlin

Similar to other languages, you can also use Byte, Short, Long, Float, and
Double depending on your numerical data
Variable declaration
The var keyword means that you can reassign values to count as needed

For example, you can change the value of count from 10 to 15:

var count: Int = 10

count = 15
Variable declaration
If you do not want to change the value you can use val

val languageName: String = "Kotlin"


Type inference
The Kotlin compiler can infer the type based off of the type of the assigned
value
val languageName = "Kotlin"
val upperCaseName = languageName.toUpperCase()

// Fails to compile
languageName.inc()
Null safety
Kotlin variables can't hold null values by default

// Fails to compile

val languageName: String = null

For a variable to hold a null value, it must be of a nullable type

You can specify a variable as being nullable by suffixing its type with ?

val languageName: String? = null


Null safety
With a String? type, you can assign a nullable variable either a String value
or null

You must handle nullable variables carefully or a NullPointerException

Exercise: Variable
Write a Kotlin program to declare a variable currentTime of type String and
assign it a value representing the current time

Declare a variable temperature and assign a value of type Double


representing the current temperature

Declare a variable grade and assign it a Char representing a student's grade


(e.g., 'A', 'B', 'C', etc.)
Exercise: Conditionals
Write a program that determines if a triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or
scalene based on the lengths of its sides

the number of hours worked and the hourly rate, considering overtime
Exercise: Conditionals

day entered

nested conditionals
Exercise: Functions

Implement a function that calculates the factorial of a given number using


recursion

Develop a function that checks if a given string contains only unique


characters
Exercise: Loops

a for loop

Develop a program to find the prime numbers within a given range using a
while loop

Implement a program to check if a given number is a palindrome using a while


loop
Exercise: Class
Develop a class representing a Rectangle with properties for length and width
and methods to calculate its perimeter and area

Create a class representing a Triangle with properties for three sides and
methods to determine if it's equilateral, isosceles, or scalene

methods for adding, removing, and calculating total price
