If your starting Kotlin with prior java knowledge, here's a quick lookup table for some common equivalents:
| Java | Kotlin | 
| Accessibility modifiers: 
 | 
 
 | 
| String [] anArray; | var anArray:Array<String> | 
| (castType) | smart casting after is as | 
| public class Area { private int length; private int width; 
 //constructor public Area(int length, int width){ this.length = length; this.width = width; System.out.printf("Surface: %d",length*width); } 
 //accessor public int getCircumference(){ return 2*(length+width); } } | class Area(var length: Int , var width: Int) { 
 
 //to add onstructor code init { println("Surface: ${length * width}") } 
 
 
 
 //accessor val circumference get() = 2*(length + width) 
 } | 
| anEnum.values() | anEnum.entries | 
| class Shape{} class Rectangle extends Shape{} | open class Shape {} class Rectangle : Shape {} | 
| final String aConstant="a"; | val aConstant="a" | 
| instanceOf | is | 
| Primitives: int, double... | Int,Double... | 
| lambda (shorter forms exist in both languages) BiFunction<Integer, Integer, Integer> mutiply= (a, b) -> { System.out.println("java lambda"); return a * b; }; 
 | 
 val multiply: (Int, Int)->Int = { a, b -> println("kotlin lambda") a * b } 
 
 | 
| new Random(); | Random(); | 
| Object | Any? | 
| public static void main(String[] args){} // Note: Java 22 has a preview of a main() function | fun main(args:Array<String>){} | 
| static | companion top level function const | 
| switch expression | when | 
| int ternaryVar=test?1:2; | var ternaryVar = if(test) 1 else 2; | 
| throw UnsupportedOperationException | TODO() | 
| void | Unit |
