    but maybe there are any other reasons for that

    what about argumet type?

    looks like a lot of combinations if you want to support all the types

    And the return type is a problem.

    At least it seems to be because bit fiddling for bytes sucks right now.

    Basically kotlin.math is an abstraction of java.Math right?

    Can someone from Kotlin team address that?

    What? It's a package with fuctions that on the JVM mostly call the Java equivalent.

    Look at the source of kotlin.math

    Thats what I understand fromit

    pow
    is in 
    kotlin.math
    , but as an extention function: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.math/pow.html
  • a

    Aregev2

    06/05/2018, 10:47 AM
    Yes but it's calling java.Math

    Sure.

    So it should not be a problem to add pow as an extension function to Int
  • g

    as we already discuscced, it’s not a problem to create such extension function which cast int to double and call pow, of course,
  • g

    gildor

    06/05/2018, 10:52 AM
    but then you have also long and type of argument and type of return value
  • g

    gildor

    06/05/2018, 10:54 AM
    You can do this easily for you project, if you want, it’s more question about stdlib, should such function exist in stdlib or not

    Hope so

    Copy code
    inline fun Int.pow(x: Int): Int = toDouble().pow(x.toDouble()).toInt()
    Or with any other receiver, argument or return value type But I don’t think that I need versions for all possible combinations on stdlib

    What do you expect to get as a result if it doesn't fit in 
    Int
    ?

    Would it be worthwhile standardizing atomic property delegates? I'm having a lot of use for these.

    Is there a plan to expand the collections framework?

    They're experimenting with immutable collections.

    LinkedList, WeakHashMap, ArrayDeque and maybe Stack (also Queue interface)
