Extension Functions: Supercharge Your Kotlin Coding

Extension functions in Kotlin are like adding superpowers to objects without changing the original object. Let me explain it in a simple way:

Imagine you have a toy car, and it can do some cool things like moving forward and backward. But one day, you wish it could also make cool sounds like a real car.

Extension functions are like adding a special button to your toy car that makes it play car sounds. But here’s the cool part: you don’t have to change the car itself. You just add this magical button, and suddenly your toy car can do more things!

🚀 -🚀 -🚀 -In Kotlin, extension functions work similarly. They let you add new functions to existing classes (objects) without changing the original class’s code. So, if you have a regular object, you can make it do extra tricks using extension functions.

Here are some key points to understand about extension functions:

1. No Need to Modify Existing Code: You can create extension functions without changing the code of the original class. This is particularly useful when dealing with classes from libraries or third-party code.
2. Usage Like Regular Methods: Once you define an extension function, you can use it just like any other method of the class. It looks and feels as if it’s part of the…
