Kotlin For loop start from a given index

Question

I want to start a For loop from a given index in Java you can easily write

for (int i = startingIndex; i < items.size(); i++) 

how to to do that in Kotlin? I know how to write a for loop in Kotlin

my example

I want to iterate over an array of strings but the start position is 3, not iterating over a Range the iteration will be over a collection of items

Answer 1

For iterating from the start item till the last, you can use something like this:

for (i in startingIndex until items.size) {
    //apply your logic
}

Answer 2

Another option is to drop first n elements and use forEach from there:

val l = listOf(1, 2, 3, 4)
l.drop(1).forEach { println(it) } // prints "2, 3, 4"
