Lambda
In this chapter, we will dive into one of Kotlin’s most powerful and expressive features: lambda expressions. Lambdas bring a functional programming approach to Kotlin, simplifying complex operations and enabling concise code. We will keep exploring higher-order functions, which are key to understanding how Kotlin allows functions to be passed around just like data. These functions set the foundation for more advanced techniques.
Next, we will introduce the concept of receivers, which allow us to make the code more readable and declarative by defining operations that seem native to the objects they operate on. This enables a cleaner and more intuitive way to extend functions, further enhancing the flexibility of Kotlin code.
Finally, we will focus on collections, where lambdas truly shine. You’ll see how operations such as filtering, mapping, and reducing can be done effortlessly with lambdas, making Kotlin both powerful and elegant when working with data...
