Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming with Kotlin

vararg with other arguments

There is a possibility that we will be asked to create a function with an integer vararg along with two integer variables. See the following example:

fun trickyVararg(vararg list: Int, a : Int, b: Int){     var total = 0     for (item in list){          total += item      }      println("Total $total")      println("a = $a , b = $b")}  fun main (args: Array<String>) {    trickyVararg(1,2,3,4,5) }

The first three values (1,2,3) are for vararg list; parameter a is assigned with value 4 and parameter b is assigned with value 5. However, the compiler will throw the following errors:

Kotlin: No value passed for parameter 'a'Kotlin: No value passed for parameter 'b'

vararg list is declared first in the function signature, and the compiler considers ...
