actually a ?: let {} ?: return b seems okay
a is final and always initialized to null so the let block is dead code

[Alpesh Vas]

So it will return "John" ?

[karelpeeters]

Are you sure it's supposed to be return b twice?

[karelpeeters]

Of course it now returns b, right?

[Alpesh Vas]

yeah code is perfectly fine now ( after two silly mistakes).

it looks like it ought to just return b since (null)?.let will just return null and null ?: return will return
