Answer 1

To create an empty Array of Strings in Kotlin you should use one of the following six approaches:

First approach:

val empty = arrayOf()

Second approach:

val empty = arrayOf("","","")

Third approach:

val empty = Array(3) { null }

Fourth approach:

val empty = arrayOfNulls(3)

Fifth approach:

val empty = Array(3) { "it = $it" }

Sixth approach:

val empty = Array(0, { _ -> "" })
