<<SOLVED>> Hi everyone! I’m new to Kotlin and functional programming, coming from Java OO. Here’s my question: If I want to define some interface method implementations using

runCatching

, something like this below, how should I define my interface method signature in order to return whatever the runCatching returns? I hope I was clear enough. Thanks in advanced

interface IMyInterface { 
    suspend fun myFunction()
}

class MyClass : IMyInterface {
    override suspend fun myFunction() = runCatching {

    }.onFailure { ... }.getOrThrow()
}

Would you mind using three backticks for a block instead of one per line, then it is much more readable

yes! my bad

And you can edit messages in Slack. 😄

Your interface shouldn't care about whether or not the implementation will use runCatching. Just define the return type you normally would

thanks everyone, it was a PIBKAC issue, I didn’t write this part

}.onFailure { ... }.getOrThrow()

And the compiler was complaining, but after adding those, it worked fine. Thanks!
