is there a way to have a variable assignment with

if - else

with the code indented based on the position of the

if

?

val list = if(student != null && student.passing)
              getListForStudent(student)
           else 
              getStandardList()

elect: I prefer

when

to be used in this kind of situations:

val list = when {
    student != null && student.passing -> getListForStudent(student)
    else -> getStandardList()
}

intersting hint, thanks

I put the

if

on a different line myself:

val a =
  if (foo) 1
  else 2

It's the best I've found so far
