# 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/") { ... }
|
|
```
