I want to do swapping with making a Pair and destructuring deferred assignment like this.
var a = 2.0
var b = 1.0
(a, b) = b to a
But Kotlin doesn’t allow this syntax. We can only use destructuring when an immediate assignment.
Why we can’t use destructuring when assigning to existing variables?
You should probably search the forum first, since this precise question was asked multiple times. But no, destructuring declarations are rather limited at the moment.
As for swap, it s discussed each time, but could you actually give an example, where you really need swap. It seems, that its usage is almost always a code smell.
I’m sorry I didn’t find enough. I will Close this discussion.
