The fact that you can use `?.let{}` as a `if` doesn't mean it needs an `else`

The fact that you can use ?.let{} as a if doesn't mean it needs an else

[rootandy]

.let has an "else" but better to perforn mit .also -> ?.also { /* do if not null */ } ?: run { /* do the else thing */ } @Loránd @gildor @edwardwongtl

Yes, it’s looks ugly imo. if just much more clean way to do the same

[rootandy]

that is question of taste - but the functionality of if let else in swift

[gildor]

Not exactly, you can handle only one value using .let in Kotlin

[rootandy]

yes, but in if let else i think you can just pass one value in swift too - just with guard you can init multiple vals

[gildor]

no, as I know you can have multiple let in Swift
But maybe I’m wrong

[rootandy]

no you are right ^^
