groupByTo

inline fun <T, K, M : MutableMap<in K, MutableList<T>>> Sequence<T>.groupByTo(destination: M, keySelector: (T) -> K): M(source)

Groups elements of the original sequence by the key returned by the given keySelector function applied to each element and puts to the destination map each group key associated with a list of corresponding elements.

Since Kotlin

1.0

Return

The destination map.

The operation is terminal.

fun main() {

val byLength = words.groupBy { it.length }

println(byLength.keys) // [1, 3, 2, 4]
println(byLength.values) // [[a], [abc, def], [ab], [abcd]]

val mutableByLength: MutableMap<Int, MutableList<String>> = words.groupByTo(mutableMapOf()) { it.length }
// same content as in byLength map, but the map is mutable
println("mutableByLength == byLength is ${mutableByLength == byLength}") // true 
   //sampleEnd
