Kotlin Conditional Statements If-statement as an expression
Example
If-statements can be expressions:
val str = if (condition) "Condition met!" else "Condition not met!"
Note that the else-branch is not optional if the if-statement is used as an expression.
This can also been done with a multi-line variant with curly brackets and multiple else if statements.
val str = if (condition1){
"Condition1 met!"
} else if (condition2) {
"Condition2 met!"
} else {
"Conditions not met!"
}
TIP: Kotlin can infer the type of the variable for you but if you want to be sure of the type just annotate it on the variable like:
val str: String =this will enforce the type and will make it easier to read.
