Kotlin supports functional and object-oriented programming constructs. Functions in Kotlin are first-class citizens and function objects can be treated just like other data types. In addition, Kotlin supports very concise function expressions called lambdas that are very often used with collection-related operations. In this course, you will learn the structure, syntax, and features of basic functions in Kotlin. You will learn to define default values for function input parameters, use named and positioned parameters with functions, and create functions with variable numbers of arguments. Next, you will work with higher-order functions. You will learn to pass in functions as input arguments to other functions and return functions as return values from functions. You will also implement and use closures in your code. Finally, you will define and use lambda expressions which are short, concise function definitions for use and throw functions. You will learn how to use the trailing lambda syntax in Kotlin and practice creating and using lambda expressions with collections.
