Can you list the types of classes that exist in Kotlin?

Answer from AI

In Kotlin, the following class types exist:

  • Regular classes — standard classes that can be inherited (unless declared with the final modifier).
  • Data classes — classes intended for storing data, automatically generate equals(), hashCode(), toString(), as well as copy() functions and destructuring components.
  • Sealed classes — restrict the inheritance hierarchy, allowing subclasses only within the same file.
  • Abstract classes — classes that cannot be instantiated directly and may contain abstract methods.
  • Inner classes — nested classes that have a reference to the outer class.
  • Nested classes — nested classes without a reference to the outer class (by default, nested classes in Kotlin are nested).
  • Companion objects — objects within a class that allow creating static members.

Example of a data class:

data class User(val name: String, val age: Int)
