Kotlin: Deep Dive into Functions
Basic Function Declaration Let’s start with a basic function declaration. In Kotlin, functions are declared using the fun keyword. In this example, we’ve defined a function called greet() that prints out a greeting. We then call this function in the main() function. Function with Parameters Functions can take parameters, which are values you supply to the function...

In every programming language, understanding data types is a fundamental skill. It’s like learning the vocabulary of a new language. Rust is a statically typed language, which means the type of each variable is known at compile time. The core data types in Rust are divided into two subsets: scalar and compound. In this article, we will...
