A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I have a question, when you define a inner private object like ```class A{
    private object O{
        const val someConstant = 1
    }
}``` The object has some kind of lifecycle attached to the A class or is it created at the beggining no matter if A will be created or not?

There is no lifecyle, O is a singleton and has static field under the hood with instance of this companion object

ok thanks, I supposed that but wanted to make sure :slightly_smiling_face:

But in practice if you put some side effect code in `init` of course it runs at some point and so there's a lifecycle.

I don't know whether Kotlin or even the JVM guarantees anything about it though.
