  3. KOTLIN INTRODUCTION • Kotlin is a modern programming language used for developing Android apps. It was developed by JetBrains, and its popularity increased when Google started to support it. • It is a general-purpose, statically typed, open-source, cross-platform programming language that can be used with Java virtual machines. • A modern and trending programming language i.e. it combines object-oriented and functional programming to create a dominant language that is rich with up-to-date features. Intuitive syntax, all-purpose usability, and cyber security are a few of these qualities.

  4. FEATURES OF KOTLIN PROGRAMMING EASY TO LEARN • Kotlin is easy to learn because it has a simple and common syntax and programming structure, which makes it an excellent choice for identifying and modifying errors. JAVA COMPATIBILITY • Kotlin supports full Java interoperability. You can easily call Kotlin code from Java and Java code from Kotlin. Kotlin plays well with the Java programming language. Moreover, a number of Java libraries can be used in Kotlin projects, making it even more compatible. This will allow the developer to switch the programming language instead of changing the codes.

  5. FEATURES OF KOTLIN PROGRAMMING SAFE AND RELIABLE • This is one of the most powerful features of Kotlin because the language is relatively safe and easy to use. Furthermore, using the Null Safe function, it is possible to avoid errors such as "NullPointException". SMART CAST FUNCTION • The smart cast function's primary task is to determine the type of function. This will carry out all operations that are coded for a particular type and increase the code's effectiveness. • Because it has a sophisticated compiler, it is possible to verify automatic casts, which increases the effectiveness of the check timings.

  6. ALL FEATURES OF KOTLIN Easy to learn Java compatibility Smart cast function Safe and reliable Reduces crashes at runtime Clean and compact syntax Standard library functions Low cost Reduces crashes at runtime Extension functions Multivalue return functions

  7. BRANDS THAT SWITCHED TO KOTLIN PINTEREST UBER COURSERA TRELLO The foremost brand that embraced Kotlin for its influence in Android mobile app market is Uber. To enjoy better internal tool and model management, along with error-free and faster performance, Uber switched to Kotlin The popular MOOC depends partially on this Android application development language for delivering highly dynamic features and seamless experience to their audience. Trello has started writing all the codes now in this programming language. And the reason behind is that Kotlin offers far concise APIs, exceptional versatility, and interoperability with Java. Pinterest, one of the popular social media platforms founded in 2010, migrated from Java to Kotlin in 2016. And the prime reason behind is the kind of robustness that Kotlin offers.

  8. IS KOTLIN STILL RELEVANT IN 2022? Yes, Kotlin is still relevant in 2022. As the market for Android apps expands, there is an increasing need for mobile developers, which results in the increasing demand for the Kotlin language for android. It is a beginner-friendly programming language with a small codebase, making it a reliable and consistent language for code development. This programming language is now preferred by many companies such as Pinterest, Netflix, etc.

  9. WHY CHOOSE KOTLIN OVER JAVA? • Readability Kotlin has more readable and accurate code than Java, which makes the application easier to grasp. • Null-Safe By default, Kotlin is null-safe. It prohibits assigning a null value to variables. However, we are able to assign null values to variables in Java, which may result in a null pointer exception that could cause the application to crash. • Extension Functions In Java, you have to create a class, while in Kotlin it is already there. • Static Members Static Members are present in Java while Kotlin does not contain a static member for a class.

  10. WHY CHOOSE KOTLIN OVER JAVA? • Smart Casts Smart Casts are not present in Java while it is present in Kotlin. • System Type There are different kinds of references related to the basic concept of class in Java and in Kotlin it offers nullability support, universal guards, and type inference. • Constructors In Java, constructors can be utilized to take parameters while Kotlin Kotlin includes a primary constructor and a secondary constructor. • No Checked Exceptions It is a bit problematic in Java while Kotlin removes exceptions entirely.
