Hi, is it possible to create a when statement dynamically from a map, or two arrays/lists? something like

val teamMap : Map<String, String> = mapOf("Yankees" to "baseball", "Cowboys" to "football", "Lakers" to "basketball")
val sport : String = when {
  teamMap.map { e -> mystring.contains(e.key) -> e.value }
}

also a value for else would need to be supplied, not sure the best way

You don’t need a when statement, you can just do it like this:

thanks Evan. terrific. I had started with a manual when statement so didn't even think of accessing the map directly
