Hi, why does not work this?

val pair = Pair(1,"xxx")
map.put(*pair)

@zucen.co Is this not working for you?

val map: Map<Int, String> = mapOf()
        val pair: Pair<Int, String> = Pair(1, "xxx")
        val newMap1 = map.plus(pair)
        val newMap2 = map + pair

Or when using mutable map have the putAll which accepts a list of pairs:

val mutableMap: MutableMap<Int, String> = mutableMapOf()
        mutableMap.putAll(listOf(pair))

what is that star?

[oday]

what were you trying to achieve with it?

[oday]

spread?

[wbertan]

@oday I believe he were trying to "destructure" the pair and give to the arguments of the map.put which I believe were Int and String, respectively.

destructuring ok
