Kotlin is being nicely promoted for CP, but can anyone who does use it for CP tell us how it is ?

    It's nicer to code in than java without drawbacks. You can get code similarly as nice as python. Of course, it's also only as fast as java so it won't be taking c++ anyday

    string is immutable in kotlin/java so you can convert string to charArray:-
    val s = str.toCharArary()


    To Swap :-
    s[i] = s[i-1].also{s[i-1] = s[i]}
