It would be nice to have syntax highlighting for the kotlin blocks

[kirillrakhman]

otherwise the comments (in spanish) add too much noise and the actual code is hard to make out

[serandel]

we've found no kotlin syntax highlighter for wordpress

[serandel]

but you're absolutely right about comments

[serandel]

and function names

[serandel]

i've asked the translator to change them

[serandel]

thx

[kirillrakhman]

maybe you can copy the preformatted code from IDEA and paste it in Wordpress as is.

[kirillrakhman]

@serandel have you tried https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-code-highlightjs/? I used standalone highlight.js before and it works with Kotlin

[mg6maciej]

Yeah, the comments add to much noise. Hard to spot code that will not result in what comments say, like this:

val peras: Int = 1
val manzanas: Int = 1
  
println(peras.equals(manzanas)) // True
println(peras == manzanas)        // True
println(peras === manzanas)      // El == de Java, False en este caso

[mg6maciej]

All 3 cases will return true...

[mg6maciej]

Even if you change them to nullable:

val peras: Int? = 1
val manzanas: Int? = 1

[mg6maciej]

Would have to assign large enough value to have them `false`:

val peras: Int? = 128
val manzanas: Int? = 128

[mg6maciej]

(same in Java)

[serandel]

@mg6maciej does the compiler reuse the same instance?

[mg6maciej]

It's cached at runtime.

[mg6maciej]

Check out java.lang.Integer.valueOf source.

[serandel]

you're my hero

[serandel]

published a revised version

[serandel]

thanks for your help! 🙂

[mg6maciej]

val apples: Int = 128
val oranges: Int = 128

will still return true.

[mg6maciej]

It's much better if you have all the code in an article in a project and with tests. 🙂

[mg6maciej]

Same with code in slides.

[serandel]

it was a rookie mistake

[serandel]

you're 100% right
