How to test a variable for null and assign a value to it at the same time?

Question

Kotlin

Are there other options besides if, let, apply?

Answer 1

Seems you need this:
variable = variable ?: value

Answer 2

It cannot be done at the same time. Why you asking?

Answer 3

Yes, there are different ones, for example. I'll probably add more

val a = null
println(when (a) {
    null -> "it's null"
    else -> "it's not null"
})
