10.

How are Kotlin data types different from primitive data types in other languages?

val

lateinit

defer

var

None

13.

What does the Kotlin 'let' function do when used with nullable types?

It initializes a variable to zero

It checks if a variable is null

None

14.

What does the not-null assertion operator (!!) do in Kotlin?

Converts numbers to strings

Removes all compiler restrictions from nullable types

Prevents runtime exceptions

Converts nullable types to non-null types safely

None

15.

What is the Elvis operator used for in Kotlin?

To escape special characters in strings

To declare variables

To convert between data types

To check for null values and provide a default

None

16.

What is the primary purpose of data types in Kotlin?

To improve the performance of the code

To compile code faster

To allow the CPU to understand instructions

To enable programmers to work with data in a human-readable format

None

17.

What does the Kotlin compiler use to determine the type of a variable when a type annotation is not provided?

Type inference

Type annotation

Type casting

Type checking

None

18.

Which Kotlin data type would you use to store a single letter or symbol?

Char

String

Int

Boolean

None

19.

Why should immutable variables be preferred over mutable ones in Kotlin?

They are required for all Kotlin programs

They have better performance

They occupy less memory

They reduce the risk of errors and make code easier to read

None

20.

What keyword is used to declare immutable variables in Kotlin?

var

const

val

let

None

21.

What is a mutable variable in Kotlin?

A variable that can only be assigned once

A variable that stores only string values

A variable that is read-only

A variable that can have its value changed

None

22.

Which of the following is NOT a special character in Kotlin?

\n – New line

\e – Error character

\t – Horizontal tab

\&quot – Double quote

None

23.

What is the role of the escape character '\' in Kotlin?

To start a new statement

To represent special characters in strings

To indicate the end of a line

To declare string variables

None

24.

What does string interpolation in Kotlin allow you to do?

Create immutable strings

Embed variables and expressions inside strings

Convert strings to integers

Change the length of a string

None

25.

Which syntax is used to declare a multi-line string in Kotlin?

Using curly braces

Using double quotes

Using triple quotes

None

26.

How are characters represented internally in Kotlin?

As single-byte values

None

27.

What is a Boolean data type used for in Kotlin?

Managing large datasets

Storing characters

Handling true or false conditions

Storing numeric values

None

28.

What is the primary difference between Float and Double data types in Kotlin?

Float is used for smaller numbers, and Double for larger numbers

Float has 32-bit precision, and Double has 64-bit precision

Float is used for 64-bit precision, and Double is for 32-bit precision

Float can store decimal places, while Double cannot
