how can i implement recursion without creating a variable via val or var and without creating a function via fun

the closest i can get is a lambda expression { println("this is inside lambda") } but i am unable to assign a lable to it

Write code to handle the stack yourself.

[Smallville7123]

that REQUIRES creating variables -_-

[karelpeeters]

You don't want variables and you don't want functions? So no code then?

[Smallville7123]

nope cus i literally CANNOT create them

[karelpeeters]

Another XY problem?

> Could not set unknown property 'val0' for task ':pack' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask.

    val val0 = 0

> Could not set unknown property 'var0' for task ':pack' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask.

    var var0 = 0

> Could not find method a() for arguments [pack_6jwbnzhp0j5onxijf2qveb5gr$_run_closure1$_closure2@7cc6bdd3] on task ':pack' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask.

    fun a() {}
    a()

I'm sure you can have variables in Kotlin gradle scripts...

[Nikky]

you sure thats in a .gradle.kts file ? not just groovy gradle file ?

[Smallville7123]

its in ./pack.kts

[Smallville7123]

which according to IntelliJ, is perfectly valid for a Kotlin Script

ok, so i can KIND OF create a function like... loop with

for (p in [""]) {
        p = ["hello", "hi"]
        for (x in 1..2) {
            for (y in p) {
                println("x = $x, y equals $y")
            }
            p = ["boo"]
        }
    }

but i have no idea if this can actually be useful

I'd try to solve the real problem instead of looking for weird workarounds.

ok x.x
