Delegation based Kotlin interview questions and answers

What is Kotlin delegation?

Kotlin supports the “delegation” design pattern by introducing a new keyword “by”. Using the keyword or delegation methodology. Kotlin allows the derived class to access all of the implemented public methods of an interface through a specific object.

Example

  1. Live Demo
  2. interface Base {
  3. fun printMe() //abstract method
  4. }
  5. class BaseImpl(val x: Int) : Base {
  6. override fun printMe() { println(x) } //implementation of the method
  7. }
  8. class Derived(b: Base) : Base by b // delegating the public method on the object b
  10. fun main(args: Array<String>) {
  11. val b = BaseImpl(10)
  12. Derived(b).printMe() // prints 10 :: accessing the printMe() method
  13. }

Output
10

Kotlin puts a lot of weight behind null safety which is an approach to prevent the dreaded Null Pointer Exceptions by using nullable types which are like  String? ,  Int? ,  Float?  etc. These act as a wrapper type and can hold null values. A nullable value cannot be added to another nullable or basic type of value. To retrieve the basic types we need to use safe calls that unwrap the Nullable Types. If on unwrapping, the value is null we can choose to ignore or use a default value instead. The Elvis Operator is used to safely unwrap the value from the Nullable. It’s represented as  ?:  over the nullable type. The value on the right hand side would be used if the nullable type holds a null. var str: String ? = "JournalDev.com" var newStr = str?: "Default Value" str = null newStr = str?: "Default Value" How is  !! different from ?. in unwrapping t
