# Functions
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
#### Declaration
|
||||
|
||||
`fun` keyword is used to define the function
|
||||
`a` and `b` are input parameters of type `Int`
|
||||
`Int` (after brackets) is matching the return type
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
fun sum(a: Int, b: Int): Int {
|
||||
return a + b
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Same expression can be shortened (omit function brackets), meaning that return type is infered.
|
||||
Return keyword can be also omited in such expression body
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
fun sum(a: Int, b: Int) = a + b
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Return type can also be omitted (you don't have to use `void` return type) if function does not return anything
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
fun printSum(a: Int, b: Int) {
|
||||
println("sum of $a and $b is ${a + b}")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Simple method call:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
val result = sum(2, 3)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Named arguments in method call:
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
val result = sum(a = 1, b = 5)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Support of default arguments (if parameter is not provided in method call):
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
fun write(content: String, destination: String = "/tmp/") { ... }
|
||||
```
