Kotlin Map onEach()
Syntax & Examples

Syntax of Map.onEach()

The syntax of Map.onEach() extension function is:

fun <K, V, M : Map<out K, V>> M.onEach( action: (Entry<K, V>) -> Unit ): M

This onEach() extension function of Map performs the given action on each entry and returns the map itself afterwards.


✐ Examples

1 Print each entry in the map

In this example,

  • We create a map named map1 containing key-value pairs 1 to 'a', 2 to 'b', and 3 to 'c'.
  • We then apply the onEach() function on map1 to perform an action on each entry, in this case, printing the key and value.
  • The function returns the map itself.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val map1 = mapOf(1 to 'a', 2 to 'b', 3 to 'c');
    map1.onEach { entry -> println("Key: ${entry.key}, Value: ${entry.value}") }
}

Output

Key: 1, Value: a
Key: 2, Value: b
Key: 3, Value: c

2 Print each entry in the map

In this example,

  • We create a map named map2 containing key-value pairs 'a' to 1, 'b' to 2, and 'c' to 3.
  • We then apply the onEach() function on map2 to perform an action on each entry, in this case, printing the key and value.
  • The function returns the map itself.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val map2 = mapOf('a' to 1, 'b' to 2, 'c' to 3);
    map2.onEach { entry -> println("Key: ${entry.key}, Value: ${entry.value}") }
}

Output

Key: a, Value: 1
Key: b, Value: 2
Key: c, Value: 3

3 Print each entry in the map

In this example,

  • We create a map named map3 containing key-value pairs 1 to "apple", 2 to "banana", and 3 to "cherry".
  • We then apply the onEach() function on map3 to perform an action on each entry, in this case, printing the key and value.
  • The function returns the map itself.

Kotlin Program

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val map3 = mapOf(1 to "apple", 2 to "banana", 3 to "cherry");
    map3.onEach { entry -> println("Key: ${entry.key}, Value: ${entry.value}") }
}

Output

Key: 1, Value: apple
Key: 2, Value: banana
Key: 3, Value: cherry
