Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming with Kotlin

By: Abid Khan, Igor Kucherenko

Overview of this book

Kotlin is an object-oriented programming language. The book is based on the latest version of Kotlin. The book provides you with a thorough understanding of programming concepts, object-oriented programming techniques, and design patterns. It includes numerous examples, explanation of concepts and keynotes. Where possible, examples and programming exercises are included. The main purpose of the book is to provide a comprehensive coverage of Kotlin features such as classes, data classes, and inheritance. It also provides a good understanding of design pattern and how Kotlin syntax works with object-oriented techniques. You will also gain familiarity with syntax in this book by writing labeled for loop and when as an expression. An introduction to the advanced concepts such as sealed classes and package level functions and coroutines is provided and we will also learn how these concepts can make the software development easy. Supported libraries for serialization, regular expression and testing are also covered in this book. By the end of the book, you would have learnt building robust and maintainable software with object oriented design patterns in Kotlin.

Checked and unchecked exceptions

An exception is an anomalous condition in a program that requires special processing. There are many different causes of exception throwing, such as resource leaking, logical error in program code, or network connection interruption.

This section covers the following topics:

  • Exception hierarchy
  • Exceptions in Java
  • Exceptions in Kotlin

Exception hierarchy

All exception classes in Kotlin and Java are inherited from the Throwable class. The Throwable class has two direct inheritors—Exception and Error. The Exception class, in turn, has inheritors for more specific cases, such as the IOException and RuntimeException classes:

  • IOException is a general class of exceptional events related...
