Hi there,

What is the idiomatic Kotlin way to expose a var as a read-only property. I need something like the following:

class Something(...) {
var counter_ = 0

fun doSomething() { 
(snip)
counter_++
(snip)
}

val counter: Int get() = counter

Is there a better way?

[Rami Baksansky]

var counter = 0
   private set

publicly its read-only but can be modified inside the class

@Rami Baksansky thanks a bunch!
