In java looks like
public void println(String.. args) { }
To pass variable number of arguments to a function. We can declare function with varargs parameter.
// allow function to accept number of arguments
fun printAnimal(vararg animals:String):Unit{
for (animal in animals) {
print("\n $animal")
}
}
fun printAnimal2(a1: String, vararg animals:String):Unit{
print("first -> $a1") // elephant // first argument goes in starting parameter
for (animal in animals) {
print("\n $animal")
}
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
printAnimal("Lion", "Cheetah", "Cat", "Hayena")
print("\n")
printAnimal2("Elephant","Lion", "Cheetah", "Cat", "Hayena")
}
Passing List of Function to function
fun passFun(vararg funs:()->Unit){
for (f in funs) {
f() // to call function
}
}
fun f1(){
print("function 1 ,")
}
fun f2(){
print("function 2 ")
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
// passing reference of function
passFun(::f1,::f2) // function 1 , function 2
}
Generic function
fun <T> printAny(vararg varg: T) {
varg.forEach { println(it) }
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
printAny(34,56,89)
}
