I was trying to see if i could use the mapValues(playing around with it to understand how it works) to transform the map for both the String and number(indicated by x and y) i had to use a combination of Destructing Declaration to be able to use the 2nd value which is y But i had to add a ";" i'm not too sure if this is the correct way, hope someone can advise me if this is correct

val aMap= mapOf("one" to 1,"two" to 2)



fun main() {
    
    aMap.mapValues { (z,y)-> "$"+z;"$"+y }.forEach{z->println(z)}

}

Maybe you want something like this?

aMap.entries.associate { (z, y) ->
   "$"+z to "$"+y
}

Thank you @Sam
