how do i return a method in a with ?

[poohbar]

val foo = "Hello"
with(foo) { 
    println(foo)
    fun (): String { return foo}
}

[Hamza]

not what i meant

fun something(): Int{
  foo.apply{
   //do stuff
  return 5
  }
}

[Hamza]

can’t do that

[poohbar]

delete return

[poohbar]

lambdas implicitly return whatever is on the last line

[Hamza]

ah, ok

[Hamza]

here is a tiny block of code

class Foo(val bar: String)

fun somthing(): String {
    val foo = Foo("something")
    foo.apply { 
        return@somthing bar
    }
    return "else"
}

see line 31?

[Hamza]

i want to return there

[codyoss]

can use return@ as well

[Hamza]

but what do i return to?

[Hamza]

i can’t do return@generateTransaction

[poohbar]

well what do you want to return to? we don't know, the compiler doesn't either

[Hamza]

unless doing return@paypalErrorAware will work?

[codyoss]

I think it should…

[codyoss]

editor should help you out tho

[poohbar]

nasty code anyways.. i would refactor this

[Hamza]

any suggestions? they are welcome
