Does anyone know if I can apply `when` on a `pair` type? Finding it a bit difficult to make it work.

Something like: 

``` 
val pair: Pair&lt;StatusAType, StatusBType&gt; = ...
when(pair) {
            is (StatusA, StatusB) -&gt; {

            }

        }
```

It is showing an error `Type Expected` in IDE

are you trying to check the type? or the value?

are you trying to short-hand `pair.first is StatusA &amp;&amp; pair.second is StatusB`?

<@UBDJYRMD1> This is not working :point_up:

<@U3BE1HS4W> I am trying to check values.

<@UBE2FF17B> <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/multi-declarations.html> Kotlin doesn't support destructuring inside `when` (yet?)

yeah seems like it. Any kotlin workarounds I can use? Maybe like putting values to map and reading from there? It is an async operation which receives a pair after a `zip` operator

Is it just me or the guy gave an impression that checking for `Pair(x, y)` is possible with `when`?

```
when(obj) {
    Pair("a", 10) -&gt; ...
    Pair("c", 13) -&gt; ...
    else -&gt; ...
}
```

You can also use the `to` infix extension function in `when` branches
