The following structure is repeated in my code:

val arrayList : ArrayList<String> = arrayListOf()
for(person in 0..listOfPersonsIndex){
arrayList.add(person[i])
}

I would like to no do that declaration of empty arraylist and the assign it.
Is there a cleaner way to immediately assign a value for it in the stdlib?

Is listOfPersonsIndex a List? If so, listOfPersonsIndex.toList() would be all you need.

also List(n) { person[it] } or best of all, just person.toMutableList()
