In Kotlin, can every expression (theoretically) be used as a standalone statement? Java doesn't allow putting 1 + 1; into a line but in Kotlin that works

[Dominaezzz]

Yes! Almost everything is an expression except =.

[Florian]

Thanks, but what I actually mean is can every expression be a statement

[Florian]

it looks so to me

In Java you can't just put 1 + 1; into its own line but in Kotlin this is possible (altough useles)

[Dominaezzz]

I was trying to say that the things you probably think are statements are expressions.

[Dominaezzz]

But the answer is Yes.
