for an actual block of code you use run

[menegatti]

it doesn’t necessarily need to be run

[menegatti]

the important part is that you’re executing something on the event that the left side is null

[menegatti]

you can achieve the same result with other stdlib functions… the up side of using run is that, in this scenario, the return type is Unit

[oday]

it is the most useful in this case yes

[menegatti]

but apply would work practically the same

[menegatti]

anyway, it doesn’t change the answer, just providing more info

[oday]

Im speaking in Android context here, I am used to seeing apply in this context when they wanna do like property.setText, propert.setOtherThing....
