Ranges in Kotlin

To create ranges of variables in Kotlin, you can use the rangeTo extension function or the .. operator of Kotlin. We can create a range of any Comparable type.

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val int = args[0].toInt()
    if (int in 0..10) {
        println(int)
    }
}

In this example, we retrieve a value from the args array.

The args array contains command-line arguments that can be used to pass parameters or specify a configuration when an application is launched.

Decompiled to Java, it looks like the following:

public static final void main(@NotNull String[] args) {
