To deep copy a list in Kotlin, you need to copy not just the list itself but also the elements inside it. This ensures that changes made to the copied list do not affect the original list or its elements.
In this example,
originalList
containing lists as elements.originalList
by creating a new list deepCopiedList
and initializing it with copies of the inner lists from originalList
.deepCopiedList
contains deep copies of all elements of originalList
.fun main() {
val originalList = listOf(listOf(1, 2), listOf(3, 4))
val deepCopiedList = originalList.map { it.toList() }
println("Original List: $originalList")
println("Deep Copied List: $deepCopiedList")
}
Original List: [[1, 2], [3, 4]] Deep Copied List: [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
In this tutorial, we learned How to deep Copy a List in Kotlin language with well detailed examples.
