about type inheritance, Can I make a type which inherite Int and String? and how?

[diesieben07]

Both Int and String are final, so no, you cannot inherit from them.

even if you could, I would still use Either

[Stephan Schroeder]

in case you’re looking for Either now. You’ll find it in the arrow lib: https://arrow-kt.io/docs/arrow/core/either/

[Stephan Schroeder]

Either<Int, String?> is probably what you’re looking for assuming your variable is fine with being either an Int or a String?, but not both at the same time.
