Is there "toStringOrNull"? I want to run toString() to a nullable string but I want to return null if the value was null

[Loney Chou]

variable?.toString()

[lazynoda]

?: "null" 😄

[Zaki Shaikh]

If toString is called on null variable it returns "null" string

[Hassaan]

Wouldn't variable.toString() enough as toString returns null anyway if the variable is null?

[Stefan Oltmann]

@Hassaan No, if variable is of type String? you can’t call it this way because it’s unsafe.
