Is there some function like Array.forEach that passes each element as this instead of it?

[stefano.maffullo]

what would be the difference between passing this or it?

[arekolek]

Then I could access it from outer scope without using labels or explicit parameter names

[arekolek]

Otherwise it is shadowed by it from forEach

[arekolek]

At the moment I can do: foo.run { bar.forEach { it.baz = this } }

[arekolek]

But I was wondering if it’s possible to do foo.let { bar.forEach { baz = it } }

I assume you don't want to name the parameter to keep it in a single line?

[arekolek]

Honestly it was still in a single line even with a parameter name. It’s more that I was wondering if it’s possible / available. Also let { run { baz = it } } feels more natural in my case.

But I’m curious to hear your comment if it was about keeping it in a single line if you have one 😛

[menegatti]

if the issue was just it being shadowed, I usually go with the named parameter as it helps reading later... but I can always back the "let's see if it's possible" spirit 😄
