Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to pass an operator (like >, =< etc) as a parameter to a function.
Since e.g. comparison operators are translated to a.compareTo(b) function calls how is it possible to pass the actual operator in a function like:
fun someFunction(operator: Int.(Int) -> Boolean)

There is no dedicated operator function for the comparison operators, they use compareTo. So for that you'd have to pass Int::compareTo and use that inside someFunction.

Otherwise you need to pass a lambda: someFunction { a, b -> a < b }
