165: Learning Kotlin: Lambda Expressions Part 1

In this episode, Donn talks about Kotlin Lambda Expressions. He explains the syntax and how to build a couple of simple lambda expressions with and without type inference and declaration. We wrap up with a small example of passing a small lambda with multiple values to a function. See the show notes below for more info. This is part 1 of a multi-part series on Lambda Expressions in Kotlin.

The codeBody is the only section that is not optional.

Double lambda expression (doubles an integer) with type inference

Double string multi-line lambda with type inference.

Type declaration in a lambda
