//sampleStart
val emptyArray: Array<Any> = emptyArray()

val emptyOrNull: Array<Any>? = emptyArray.ifEmpty { null }
println(emptyOrNull) // null

val emptyOrDefault: Array<Any> = emptyArray.ifEmpty { arrayOf("default") }
println(emptyOrDefault.contentToString()) // [default]

val nonEmptyArray = arrayOf(1)
val sameArray = nonEmptyArray.ifEmpty { arrayOf(2) }
println("nonEmptyArray === sameArray is ${nonEmptyArray === sameArray}") // true
//sampleEnd

println(emptyOrDefault) // {s=a}

val nonEmptyMap = mapOf("x" to 1)
val sameMap = nonEmptyMap.ifEmpty { null }
println("nonEmptyMap === sameMap is ${nonEmptyMap === sameMap}") // true
