Hi! I’m doing a Kotlin course on Hyperskill. One of the topics explains that when reading large files (size > 2Gb) you should use

File.forEachLine

instead of

File.readText

. Is this due to the fact that if you would call

File.readText

File.readLines

on a large file, you might go out of memory because the List grows too big?
