Can I override a setter for a constructor var?

[Ovsyannikov Alexey]

No

[Tom Prior]

@crummy you can make it a constructor parameter instead of a property and then create the property separately with a custom initialisation. class MyClass(name: String) {

var name: String = name + “add something to name”

}

@Tom Prior why you don't use the init block ?

[Tom Prior]

@marco yep I would definitely use an init block if it were more complex then a one liner initialization but, for the purpose of answering @crummy question, I was just showing how to initialize a mutable property as I think that’s what he was asking..but yeah absolutely, an init block is where I would usually put primary constructor initialization code if it is more complex then a one liner to initialize a property.
