Kotlin Getting started with Kotlin Hello World using an Object Declaration
Example
You can alternatively use an Object Declaration that contains the main function for a Kotlin program.
package my.program
object App {
@JvmStatic fun main(args: Array<String>) {
println("Hello World")
}
}
The class name that you will run is the name of your object, in this case is my.program.App.
The advantage to this method over a top-level function is that the class name to run is more self-evident, and any other functions you add are scoped into the class App. You then also have a singleton instance of App to store state and do other work.
