myMutableInt = myMutableInt + 2

can be simplified to

myMutableInt += 2

but is there any way to do something similar with non-operator functions, e.g. simplifying

myMutableInt = myMutableInt.coerceIn(10, 100)

to something like

myMutableInt .= coerceIn(10,100) //not valid syntax

?

.= operator does not exist in Kotlin.

[LastExceed]

yes, thats exactly what my comment says.

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

I think you may introduce an infix function.

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

Like myMutableInt coerceIn (10 to 100)

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

However, there is no way to override any form of reassignment.

[LastExceed]

so i take it that what i am looking for doesnt exist ?

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

I think yes.

[LastExceed]

alright ty

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

I know only one language that allows to create custom operators

[andylamax]

Cpp?

[E.Kisaragi]

but, you can't overwrite variable like pointer.

In C++ you only can overload operators' behavior
