Kotlin -  Taking advantage out of Kotlin

At I/O 2017, Google announced official support for Kotlin for developing Android apps. Kotlin is a language developed by Jetbrains, with a quickly growing developer base because of its concise, elegant syntax, and 100% interoperability with Java.

I, who am developing android apps for a time was using java for Android Studio IDE language. After android studio 3.0 release, Jetbrains brought Kotlin support.

  • Let's get stared with Kotlin.
What You're gonna need,
  • Android Studio 3.0
  • An Android device or emulator to run the app on
  • The sample code (If you want, I got one below)
  • Basic knowledge of developing Android apps in the Java language

What You're take out of this,

  • How to use the Android Studio's Java to Kotlin converter.
  • How to write code using Kotlin syntax.
  • How to use Kotlin lambda expressions and extension functions to reduce boilerplate code and avoid common errors.
  • How to use built-in standard library functions to extend existing Java class functions.
  • How Kotlin can help avoid the Billion Dollar Mistake, the NullPointerException.

But you can also group certain objects together by creating a hierarchical order and assigning Parent and Child categories. What is Hierarchy Window? The  Hierarchy  window contains a list of every GameObject (referred to in this guide as an “object”) in the current Scene. Some of these are direct instances of Asset files (like 3D models), and others are instances of Prefabs, which are custom objects that make up most of your game. As objects are added and removed in the Scene, they will appear and disappear from the Hierarchy as well. By default, objects are listed in the Hierarchy window in the order they are made. You can re-order the o

Examples for Integrity, Availability and Confidentiality    Integrity -    As examples for integrity, We can take ATM machines and our VISA cards. There should be integrity in ATM related transactions, so that we could use banking system more trustworthy. As for a example, Say that We use our VISA card for check our account balance, we check from one  ATM and it shows some amount. After we use another ATM to check balance, if it show another amount, There is a lost of integrity.  High integrity            - ATM machines, On-line Banking services Moderate integrity    -     2. Availability -    Availability is accessing data, right time and right people. let's take a system that controls national security the authorized people should always have access, therefore there is no Availability. If an an attacker attacks and blocks availability, Then there is a national security issue.  That count as High availability . If we consider a university website that have access to
