LIST - toMutableList()

toMutableList() is used to copy one List to the other. It creates a Mutable/changeable copy of the existing List.

fun main() {
    val x = mutableListOf("Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim")
    var y = x.toMutableList()
    println("The Copied List is "+y)
}

Output :

The Copied List is [Mohan, Kriti, Salim]

So, in the above code we have created a 'List' and initialised to the variable 'x'.

val x = mutableListOf("Mohan", "Kriti", "Salim")

Below is how the values are positioned in the List,

Then we have used the 'toList()' method and create a new List that would be the exact copy of 'x'.

Then assign it to 'y'.

var y = x.toMutableList()

And we get the below output,

The Copied List is [Mohan, Kriti, Salim]
