I just came across array destructuring in Typescript is there something like that in kotlin?

const numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];
const [numOne,numTwo,...remainingNumbers] = numbers;

Not only arrays, but in fact any class that defines component1(), component2() etc. can be destructured. The Kotlin equivalent to your example is:

val numbers = arrayOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
val (numOne, numTwo) = numbers
val remainingNumbers = numbers.slice(2..numbers.size)

Works for List also

Oooh Nice, Thanks. I am aware of the Pair and Triple example but didn’t think of it as destructuring.
