Summary of Scope functions:
let: Used to check nulls, also better than simple null check in multi-threading case
also: same as 'let' but it doesn't return the last line as 'let', instead 'also' will return the object it was called on and 'not the last line!'
apply: helpful function to modify objects, if you want to change in properties of the objects, and it uses 'this' instead of 'it' as we work inside the class of the object
run: equivalent to 'apply', but it won't return the object it was called, instead it will return the last line
with: same as 'run' but a different signature.

[@PhilippLackner]

good!

[@trungtrankim294]

Awesome. Thanks a lot man.

[@rithulraj3348]

*with()* is the combination of *let* and *run* because it does null check also, am I right?

[@hazfrd]

@@rithulraj3348 nope. In fact run is combination of with & let. Run does check nullpointer (let) and reference with this (with) , after that return the last line a.k.a lambda expression

[@hazfrd]

@@rithulraj3348 with() doesn't checking null, just for non-null. in case it is null then use let(), in case you want make some operation while checking null then use run()

[@agp1444]

also is very useful in case x = y.also { y = x } - switch values of variables without third variable

[@mahdi7236]

big brain time😉

[@TheMohit987]

😂😂😂😂 wow

[@hieuluu2495]

Awsome

[@phamhung2263]

why don't we just switch those variables with a third variable. It's more readable

[@ganshakumari5196]

Fantastic explanation. Much clearer than most of the online resources, Thanks Mate!

[@benjaminmorales8624]

You’re an amazing dev, thank you for all this effort and please keep it rocking!

[@PhilippLackner]

Thanks, will do!

[@weather120widget8]

I really appreciate your teaching style, how you build on topics as you go. Keep up the great work.

[@mirzasohailhussain]

Thanks Philip, you are sharing so much knowledge without any charge. I have seen so many people share only basics and then member only videos

[@damercy]

Hey man. I just learnt Kotlin. Previously I've made a few basic projects in android using Java. Fortunately,I found your channel with some really good resources to learn android dev in Kotlin. Just wanted to say a genuine thank you for putting out such great content. Please don't stop. Power to you! 🔥❤️

[@PhilippLackner]

Thanks! You're totally welcome

[@TheMohit987]

Your videos are very helpful. Your way of teaching is simply awesome.

[@larrystreehouse1124]

Simple and Concise explanation. Even though I go self-learning with Kotlin for 1 year, this is great to recall my memory and consolidate my knowledge. More importantly, you show us how to teach and explain the basic concept in an interesting and concise passages with live examples.

[@firuzaaliyeva5382]

Was literally just thinking about finally studying these, and you just uploaded. Thanks!

[@iJuce]

yes, I can read your mind

Awesome video！You explained very simply and concisely. Thanks a lot Philipp!

[@achalbadgujar9519]

Finally a practically helpful explanation of these scope functions

[@usherg4158]

o man, I have been reading lots of explanation and still not get it until watching yours. Great example and explanation, thanks for making this video.

[@original_anu]

Simple, crisp explanations ❤

[@adarshdev3810]

It is awesome you explains concepts so simple. Hats off

[@TheMaciak90]

Very well explained. Thank you mate.

[@ianlipa9826]

Your tutorials are a big help bro. Thanks!

[@FatalRescue]

Wow, thank you for opening my eyes. I was just using let as shorthand for the null check and did not realize how useful it actually is!

[@PhilippLackner]

yes, let > null-check

[@ziakhan-tk7rk]

Your tutorials are addictive I watch them repeatedly

[@carloscambon5402]

You explain very clearly. Thank you.

[@thearpansircar]

An absolute psychic. I was going through Kotlin's Documentation and, suffice to say, it confused the fuck outta me.

[@rahulchandrabhan]

One of the best explanation. Simple and Easy. Great man

[@PhilippLackner]

Glad you liked it

[@Aweklin]

I already liked the video before watching because it is the topic I had pinned on my todo list to research this week.

i wish seeing you doing a video on Providing offline capabilities with NetworkBoundResource

[@PhilippLackner]

I do that in my ktor course on pl-coding.com

[@shreyashachoudhary480]

Great!

[@DreckbobBratpfanne]

i liked to use with eg in viewbinding, because then i can avoid typing the binding variable name xD, also you can use multiple of them within each other what is also pretty nifty

[@hirarkiardipratamakiki8777]

i often use 'with 'to declare componen with viewbinding,such as onClickListener, and etc.

[@DeepSingh-wk5ts]

Thanks

Great video expected man love your explanation, just asking will you make videos outside topic of android and mobile dev in general ex: Ai, web or desktop?

[@PhilippLackner]

Not planned right now, but I also don't say I never will. I might do some flutter videos in the next time

[@amiribrahim01]

Welcome

[@scottbiggs8894]

I never realized before that Philipp looks like the Elvis operator ?: ;)

[@lional4898]

With is useful when using string builder. No need to create new variables. Simply call toString at the end

[@mohammadamirkanjoori138]

nice

[@rsobies]

in this case number is a property so it is a function. a function can return different results and that's why it is considered as mutuable. inside let block you are dealing directly with a field of the class. 'it' is a field, not a property. so it is immutable

[@soontaek]

I left you some feedback on your previous video (Preference Datastore)

[@PhilippLackner]

Thanks, I saw it! :)

[@Alchemist10241]

This video definitely belongs to 5 percent group according to 95/5 rule (80/20 rule). Great and precise job 🚀

[@ankitpareek8979]

I have an usecase where i need to call a suspend function(some network call) on completion of it i need to perform other local task. I am trying to use also there but getting unexpected results. Can u explain this !!!

[@serhatkarakoca]

Thanks for video.. Also i see use function. What is the use function? This is also scoped function

[@Nithin_Coorg]

Crisp!

[@MrLukasw44]

but is that mean that apply is thread safe? so if we got an object and we would like to run 3 methods on that object and that object is a global variable so the question is if we use apply those 3 operations will be thread safe?

[@ucPhamQuoc]

the beard is impressive

[@vigneshdroid1654]

Hi Bro, Your videos are very helpful for me. You Know Tamil language Bro?.

[@himanshugoeldelhi]

Try executing that code if some people don't understand what 'let' does
number?.let {
number = null
val num2 = it + 1
}
Here 'let' actually saved the global value of number and even in case number becomes null in 'let' block , still 'it' value will remain the same which you defined before
