How to interpolate strings in Kotlin programming language

-

Kotlin programming language has string interpolation similar to template literals in JavaScript

For JavaScript You can write as;

var passage = `I'm going todo a ${chore}`

In Kotlin you can do string interpolation as;

var passage = "I'm going todo a $chore"

Interpolating expressions in kotlin is done as;

var state = "I'm done with ${numChores()} chores"

Ways of iterating Object properties in JavaScript

-
For Objects the ways of iterating their properties are not that plentiful as with Arrays. take for instance we have an object of dogs and cat characteristics const pets = { {name: " Jenny ", eyes: "brown"}, {name: "max", eyes: "blue"} } To iterate through the characteristics using for loop for (pet in pets) {     console.log(`${pets[pet].name} has eye color ${pets[pet].eyes}`} } Alternatively you can use objects.keys and object. entries for (element in Object.entries(elements)) }

Introduction to Kotlin programing language

-
Kotlin is an open source statically typed programming language named after an island just like Java was named after an Indonesian island. Kotlin runs on the JVM and can compile to JavaScript. Uses for kotlin programming language Kotlin is a preferred programming language for Android application development second after Java programming language. Kotlin can be used for artificial intelligence and data science research applications. Because of its speed kotlin is a well suited programing language for web server application development. On rare occasions you can use kotlin to develop client side application simply because it can compile to JavaScript. Hello world application in kotlin programming language Kotlin applications must have a main method. println is used for text output just like in Java fun main() {     println("hello world") } After compiling the output should be "hello world" Basic s yntax variable declaration Variables are declared using ...
