What is the type of a simple object expression?

1 


package Kotlin101.Objects.Expressions



fun main (args : Array<String>){

  val msg = anythingGoes()

  println (“${msg.message}”) //this throws error

}


fun anythingGoes() : Any{
    return object{
        val message : String = "You can use this anytime"
    }
}

Is there anyway to access the ‘message’ property in above case?

Not until there's support for a dynamic typing type, so you can use runtime reflection/dynamic typing.

For now just create a class

class Foo(val message: String) {}
fun anythingGoes(): Foo {

  return Foo(“You can use this anytime”)

}

An anonymous object has an anonymous type, so you can say this:

``

    val a =  object{

  val message : String = “You can use this anytime”

  }

  println(a.message)

But you can not denote this type (i.e. write it down), so you need to create a named class to return something like that from a function.
