Kotlin supports the same basic concepts as other high-level programming languages such as Java and C#. However, Kotlin has a unique, more concise syntax than these languages and also has some additional features which make programming in Kotlin more robust and secure. In this course, you will learn to work with basic Kotlin data types and syntax. You will explore how to make a choice between val-type variables and var-type variables and the details of how to use those in your code. You will also use string templates to evaluate expressions embedded in strings. Next, you will work with conditional branching using if-else statements and expressions. You will perform multiple conditional checks using when statements and expressions, work with collection data structures such as lists, sets, and maps, and use looping constructs such as for-loops, while loops, and do-while loops. Finally, you will explore null safety features in Kotlin such as null-safe invocations, not-null assertions, and the Elvis operator.
