✐ Examples

1 Converting a set of UByte values to a UByteArray

Using toUByteArray() to convert a set of UByte values to a UByteArray.

For example,

  1. Create a set of UByte values.
  2. Use toUByteArray() to convert the set to a UByteArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val ubyteSet = setOf<UByte>(1u, 2u, 3u)
    val ubyteArray = ubyteSet.toUByteArray()
    println(ubyteArray.joinToString())
}

Output

1, 2, 3

2 Handling an empty set of UByte values

Using toUByteArray() to handle an empty set of UByte values.

For example,

  1. Create an empty set of UByte values.
  2. Use toUByteArray() to convert the empty set to a UByteArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val emptySet = emptySet<UByte>()
    val ubyteArray = emptySet.toUByteArray()
    println(ubyteArray.joinToString())
}

Output


3  Converting a set of mixed UByte values to a UByteArray
Using toUByteArray() to convert a set of mixed UByte values to a UByteArray.
For example,
  1. Create a set of mixed UByte values.
  2. Use toUByteArray() to convert the set to a UByteArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.
Kotlin Program
fun main() {
    val mixedSet = setOf<UByte>(1u, 255u, 128u)
    val ubyteArray = mixedSet.toUByteArray()
    println(ubyteArray.joinToString())
}
Output
1, 255, 128
