How do I distinguish a global variable from a local one with the same name in Kotlin?

Question

I\'m learning Kotlin, and in my project I have something like the following

Utils.kt:

var weightInKilos = 100.0

//should multiply the above var
fun doSo         


        

Answer 1

Use the package name as the identifier. If the enclosing package for Utils.kt file is com.example, you would use com.example.weightInKilos = weightInKilos * multiplier.

Thank you Android Studio autocomplete.
