In this episode, Donn talks about Kotlin Lambda Expressions. He explains the syntax and how to build a couple of simple lambda expressions with and without type inference and declaration. We wrap up with a small example of passing a small lambda with multiple values to a function. See the show notes below for more info. This is part 1 of a multi-part series on Lambda Expressions in Kotlin. The basic syntax of a lambda expression: val myLambda : Type = { argumentList -> codeBody } The codeBody is the only section that is not optional. Double lambda expression (doubles an integer) with type inference val double = { number: Int -> number * 2 } val result = double(4) // result = 8 now Double string multi-line lambda with type inference. val doubleString = { number: Int -> // codebody val doubleResult = number * 2 doubleResult.toString() // Kotlin knows this will return a string } Type declaration in a lambda val myLambda: (String, Int) -> String = { str, int -> "$str - ${int.toString()}" // "Donn - 32" } val result = myLambda("Donn", 32) // result = "Donn - 32" Preview of next week … passing a lambda to a function fun doWork(name: String, favoriteNumber: Int, someLambda: (String, Int) -> String) { // Do some processing, this is a contrived example val repeatedString = "$name$name" val result = someLambda(repeatedString, favoriteNumber) println(result) } // Usage doWork("Donn", 32) { str, int -> val someNewValue = "$str is my parameter and so is $int" someNewValue.length.toString() // this is returned } // '37' is printed via println // Or use it like this, the lambda code body is what can change, this is where the power is at doWork("Donn", 32) { name, count -> var result = "" for(i in 1..count) { result += "$name" } result // this is returned } // loops over and concatinates "Donn" until the favorite number (aka count) is met. // Output looks like: "DonnDonnDonnDonnDonnDonn..." and so on...

In this show, Donn talks with Dan Jarvis about Machine Learning on Android with ML Kit and Tensor flow. They dive deep into what ML (Machine Learning) is, what you need to know as a developer and how to apply those things to build ML applications on Android. They tal about what you can do on Android in regards to ML, model training and running the models on the device. You may be wondering if you should include the model in your app or if it should live on a server, that's discused as well and the reasons for it. They wrap up the show with some examples of what you could build and some great resources to get you started. Enjoy Shownotes What Can Machine Learning Do?
