#### What Will I Learn? - You will learn about the various basic types in Kotlin - You will learn various things about casting types and type inference in Kotlin - You will learn about strings, string interpolation and various other attributes of strings in Kotlin #### Requirements - The Kotlin Compiler or The Intellij/Eclipse IDE - A basic understanding of the JVM as a platform - A surface level understanding of what purpose Java serves #### Difficulty - Basic #### Description This is the first in a series of video tutorials on the **Kotlin Programming language**. In this tutorial video, we look at the **basic types in Kotlin**. This includes *Ints, Floats, Longs, Doubles, Bytes, Shorts, Characters, and Strings*. We also look at **casting** or the *explicit type conversion* methods that Kotlin supports. We end by talking about the various properties of **Strings** such as *index, length and methods* and we talk about how all **basic types in Kotlin** are treated as **Objects**. #### Video Tutorial <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GA1WWKP1pnw" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <br /><hr/><em>Posted on <a href="https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@tensor/intro-to-kotlin-basic-types-type-inference-casting-and-strings">Utopian.io - Rewarding Open Source Contributors</a></em><hr/>
