   val numbers: List<Int> = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

Returns a list containing only elements matching the given predicate.

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val numbers: List<Int> = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
val evenNumbers = numbers.filter { it % 2 == 0 }

println(evenNumbers) // [2, 4, 6]

inline fun <K, V> Map<out K, V>.filter(predicate: (Map.Entry<K, V>) -> Boolean): Map<K, V>(source)

Returns a new map containing all key-value pairs matching the given predicate.

The returned map preserves the entry iteration order of the original map.

val filteredMap = originalMap.filter { it.value < 2 }

println(filteredMap) // {key1=1}
// original map has not changed
println(originalMap) // {key1=1, key2=2, key3=3}

val nonMatchingPredicate: ((Map.Entry<String, Int>)) -> Boolean = { it.value == 0 }
val emptyMap = originalMap.filter(nonMatchingPredicate)
println(emptyMap) // {}
