<https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/elvis-operator-always-returns-the-left-operand-tostring/26681|Elvis operator (?:) always returns the left operand (.toString())>
Given the following code :
val statusCode: String = result?.httpStatusCode?.statusCode.toString()
            ?: Response.Status.NO_CONTENT.statusCode.toString()

Why do I get the error :
Elvis operator (? always returns the left operand of non-nullable type String
If I understand the “?” correctly, result could be null or httpStatusCode could be null and therefore the toString function could never be called, requiring the right side of the operator?
