import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val letters = ('a'..'f').toList()
val pairs = letters.zipWithNext()

println(letters) // [a, b, c, d, e, f]
println(pairs) // [(a, b), (b, c), (c, d), (d, e), (e, f)] 
   //sampleEnd
}
inline fun <R> CharSequence.zipWithNext(transform: (a: Char, b: Char) -> R): List<R>(source)

Returns a list containing the results of applying the given transform function to an each pair of two adjacent characters in this char sequence.
