Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "For every Gradle module/project, you'll have a build.gradle (or .kts) file describing the build steps for that specific module."

A block of code is set as follows:

plugins {
    kotlin("multiplatform")
    id("com.android.library")
    kotlin("plugin.serialization") version
      Versions.KOTLIN_VERSION
    id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.native.cocoapods")
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

// Swift unwrapping
if let string = optional {
    print(string.count)
} else {
    print("I'm nil")
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ mkdir css
$ cd css

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "Open the Android Studio New Project wizard (Android Studio | New Project). From the Phone and Tablet tab, select KMM Application."
