Hello all. I'm a beginner trying to learn something more advanced that the very basics.
I got a question about "by lazy" assignment.

Premising that one of the reasons to use a lazy assignment is to avoid making a *val* or *var* nullable in case you *can't* assign it a value right there right now (there are other reasons to defer it; but this is a common one). That being said, is it possible to lazily assign something which may actually return null to a nullable variable?

Hope the question is clear. Thanks!

I think the main reason to use `by lazy {}` is to compute something only if it is requested and only once.
