What is the difference between kotlin and java ?

Answer 1

Kotlin looks and feels slightly different than Java while writing and reading it. But, it does not mean that it is different in its functionality.
Kotlin is 100% compatible with existing Java code.
Kotlin compiles to the exact same bytecode and making it interoperable in the JVM or on Android.
