is there another way I get a CharArray from an IntArray other than .let{ ints -> CharArray(ints.size){ints[it].toChar()}?

[Bruno_]

how about

(1..100).map { it.toChar() }
//or
(1..100).map(Int::toChar)

I do start from an intArrayOf(..)

[Bruno_]

yeah,my bad

intArrayOf(1,2,3).map { it.toChar() }.toCharArray()

Note that that will box all chars into an object and create a list. Only to then unbox all of them again to copy them into an array.

yeah, I imagined that, however it's one time (lazy) initialization

on jvm you can use ByteBuffer to stay all in primitives.
