Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide, 2nd Edition

6 Strings

In programming, textual data is represented by strings – ordered sequences of characters. You have already used Kotlin’s strings for the messages you print when bounty-board is run, like this one:

    "The hero announces her presence to the world."

In this chapter, you will see more of what strings can do. In the process, you will upgrade bounty-board with better string formatting. You will also update the program so the player’s level is read from user input through the console, instead of being hardcoded into the program.
