Topic Overview and Actualization

Hello, coding rookie! Today, we're venturing into Kotlin's vast terrain to unravel a fundamental feature: Lists! Much like a grocery list or a to-do list, Kotlin allows us to create a list of items. With our focus set on understanding Lists, we're prepared for an adventure into the land of Kotlin!

Introduction to Lists in Kotlin

Have you ever created a to-do list? It organizes and stores your tasks, doesn't it? Kotlin provides the same functionality with Lists! Kotlin's Lists can store multiple items (of either similar or various types) similar to this to-do list:

Depending on the requirements, Lists can be mutable (modifiable using mutableListOf()) or immutable (non-modifiable with listOf()).

Creating Lists in Kotlin

To create a list in Kotlin, we require the listOf() (for an immutable list) or the mutableListOf() (for a mutable list) function. Let's see how:

In this context, add() is a method that allows us to add more elements to a mutable list.
