kotlinlang

Hi All, i'm still learning Kotlin and i'm currently learning how to use scope functions and would like to understand what the following mean for points 1 and 2

`inline fun &lt;T, R&gt; T.let(*block*: (T) -&gt; R): R`
`1) &lt;T, R&gt; T what does the extra T outside the &lt;&gt; mean`
`2) What does R mean`

<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/generics.html#generic-functions|https://kotlinlang.org/docs/generics.html#generic-functions>

There are many concepts packed in the same function here, so it's normal to be a bit confused.

`&lt;T,R&gt;` and the following `T` are 2 separate parts of the function definition.
• The part between &lt;&gt; declares the type parameters of the function (because the <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/generics.html#generic-functions|function is generic>).
• The following `T` is the _receiver_ of the function, because `let` is <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/extensions.html#extension-functions|an >_<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/extensions.html#extension-functions|extension>_<https://kotlinlang.org/docs/extensions.html#extension-functions| function>.
• The `R` is a generic type used as the return type of the function and also as the return type of the `block` argument (which is also a function)

Thank you so much <@UBXMWAA69> and <@UHED82QLX> :smile::+1::100:
