✐ Examples

1 Printing each element with its index

Using forEachIndexed() to print each element in a set with its index.

For example,

  1. Create a set of strings.
  2. Use forEachIndexed() to print each element with its index.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val strings = setOf("a", "b", "c")
    strings.forEachIndexed { index, value -> println("$index: $value") }
}

Output

0: a
1: b
2: c

2 Printing each element's double with its index

Using forEachIndexed() to print each element's double in a set with its index.

For example,

  1. Create a set of integers.
  2. Use forEachIndexed() to print each element's double with its index.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val numbers = setOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    numbers.forEachIndexed { index, value -> println("$index: ${value * 2}") }
}

Output

0: 2
1: 4
2: 6
3: 8
4: 10

3 Printing each element and its square with its index

Using forEachIndexed() to print each element and its square in a set with its index.

For example,

  1. Create a set of integers.
  2. Use forEachIndexed() to print each element and its square with its index.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val numbers = setOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    numbers.forEachIndexed { index, value -> println("$index: $value, ${value * value}") }
}

Output

0: 1, 1
1: 2, 4
2: 3, 9
