How can I get a variable from one function to another in Kotlin

Question

How can I make a local variable in Kotlin accessible in another function? In python you can use global to make a variable accessible everywhere. What is the equivalent of that in Kotlin?

This is my code:

fun add(){
    val a: Int = 3
    val b: Int = 5
    val c: Int = a + b
}

fun multiply(value: Int){
    println(value * 5)
}

How can I pass variable c as a parameter for the multiply function so that it would run like multiply(c) . From what I've understood, c is a local variable and can only be accessed in the add function. How can I make it a global scope variable?

Answer 1

You have to initialize the variable outside of the function.

var x = 100

fun fn() { 
 x = x + 100 
}
