## 🔰 Introduction
This project serves as a beginner-friendly guide to **Kotlin programming** and a smooth introduction to **Android development using Jetpack Compose**. Kotlin is a modern, concise, and powerful language used for Android development, while Jetpack Compose simplifies UI creation by making it declarative.
Through this repository, you will:
- Learn the fundamentals of Kotlin (variables, loops, functions, and classes).
- Build a basic Android application using Jetpack Compose.
- Understand Compose components, state management, and UI layouts.
---
## ✅ Prerequisites
Before diving into this project, you should have:
- Basic programming knowledge (preferably in any language).
- [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio) installed on your machine.
- Java Development Kit (JDK 11 or higher) installed.

## 🛠️ Technologies Used
- **Kotlin**: The main programming language.
- **Jetpack Compose**: A modern UI toolkit for building native Android UIs.
- **Android Studio**: IDE for Android development.
---
## 🚀 Installation and Setup
1. **Clone the repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Carrington-dev/kotlin-programming.git
cd kotlin-programming
```
2. **Open Kotlin basics in any code editor**
- Navigate to `kotlin-basics/` and try running the `.kt` files individually using [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) or any Kotlin-friendly editor.
3. **Open Android App in Android Studio**
- Navigate to the `android-app/` folder and open it with Android Studio.
- Sync the Gradle files (Android Studio will prompt you to do this).
- Run the app on an emulator or a physical device.
---
## 📖 Usage
1. **Running Kotlin Basics**:
- Open any of the Kotlin files in the `kotlin-basics/` directory.
- Compile and run them to see output directly on your console.
2. **Running the Android App**:
- Launch the app on your preferred emulator.
- The app demonstrates a simple **Compose-based UI** (e.g., a "Hello World" screen, counter app, or form layout).
---
## 📚 Topics Covered
### Kotlin Basics:
- **Variables and Data Types**: Learn about `val` vs `var`, types like `Int`, `String`, and more.
- **Control Flow**: If-else, when expressions, and loops (for, while).
- **Functions**: How to declare and use functions, with optional/default parameters.
- **Classes and Objects**: Basic Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in Kotlin.
### Android with Jetpack Compose:
- **Project Setup and Structure**: Understand Android app structure and setup with Compose.
- **Composable Functions**: Learn how to create UI elements with `@Composable`.
- **State Management**: Manage state with `remember` and `mutableStateOf`.
- **Layouts in Compose**: Use `Column`, `Row`, `Box`, and other layout components.
- **Navigation**: Implement basic navigation between screens.
