Kotlin List component3()
Syntax & Examples

Syntax of List.component3()

The syntax of List.component3() extension function is:

operator fun <T> List<T>.component3(): T

This component3() extension function of List returns 3rd element from the list.


✐ Examples

1 Example

In this example,

  • We create a list named list containing integers from 1 to 5.
  • We use the component3 function to get the third element of list.
  • The third element is stored in thirdElement.
  • We print the third element using println.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    val thirdElement = list.component3()
    println("The third element is: \$thirdElement")
}

Output

The third element is: 3

2 Example

In this example,

  • We create a list named list containing characters 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd'.
  • We use the component3 function to get the third element of list.
  • The third element is stored in thirdElement.
  • We print the third element using println.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list = listOf('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
    val thirdElement = list.component3()
    println("The third element is: \$thirdElement")
}

Output

The third element is: c

3 Example

In this example,

  • We create a list named list containing strings "apple", "banana", "cherry".
  • We use the component3 function to get the third element of list.
  • The third element is stored in thirdElement.
  • We print the third element using println.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val list = listOf("apple", "banana", "cherry")
    val thirdElement = list.component3()
    println("The third element is: \$thirdElement")
}

Output

The third element is: cherry
