```val a get() = Random().nextInt(10)``` Is this ...

# getting-started

[Florian]

val a
get() = Random().nextInt(10)

Is this the only situation a val can return a different value each time it is accessed? (obviously the Random function is replaceable)

[alex]

Yes, because get() is a syntax sugar for something like:

class A {
String getA() { return new Random().nextInt(10); }
}

[Florian]

makes sense

You also have property delegates, but technically they work the same.

Or if an interface contains a val implementors can provide whatever getter they want. Still the same, but something to look out for.
