mapOf

fun <K, V> mapOf(pair: Pair<K, V>): Map<K, V>(source)

Returns an immutable map, mapping only the specified key to the specified value.

The returned map is serializable.

Samples

import kotlin.test.*
import java.util.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val map = mapOf(1 to "x", 2 to "y", -1 to "zz")
println(map) // {1=x, 2=y, -1=zz} 
   //sampleEnd
}
fun <K, V> mapOf(vararg pairs: Pair<K, V>): Map<K, V>(source)

Returns a new read-only map with the specified contents, given as a list of pairs where the first value is the key and the second is the value.

If multiple pairs have the same key, the resulting map will contain the value from the last of those pairs.

Entries of the map are iterated in the order they were specified.

The returned map is serializable (JVM).
