Kotlin Programming Cookbook

How to do it...

Create a Java class with a method name equal to any Kotlin keyword. I am using is as the method name, so my Java class looks as follows:

public class ASimpleJavaClass {   static void is(){       System.out.print("Nothing fancy here");   }}

Now try calling that method from Kotlin code. If you are using any code editor with the autocomplete feature, it automatically encloses the method name in backticks (` `):

fun main(args: Array<String>) {   ASimpleJavaClass.`is`()   }

Similar is the case with other keywords in Kotlin that are qualified identifiers in Java.
