Kotlin - Loops and Ranges

Afor (name in names) { if (name.startsWith("J")) println(name) }

Bfor (name in names) { if (name[0] == 'J') print(name) }

Cfor (name in names) println(name.startsWith("J"))

Dfor (name in names) { if (name.contains("J")) println(name) }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check condition to filter names starting with 'J'
Using name.startsWith("J") correctly checks the first letter.
Step 2: Confirm printing only matching names
for (name in names) { if (name.startsWith("J")) println(name) } prints the name only if it starts with 'J'. for (name in names) { if (name[0] == 'J') print(name) } prints without newline, C prints booleans, D checks contains which is incorrect.
Final Answer:
for (name in names) { if (name.startsWith("J")) println(name) } -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use startsWith to filter in for loop [OK]

Quick Trick: Use startsWith() inside for loop to filter items [OK]
