groupBy

Platform and version requirements: JVM (1.0), JS (1.0), Native (1.0)
inline fun <K> CharSequence.groupBy(
    keySelector: (Char) -> K
): Map<K, List<Char>>

Groups characters of the original char sequence by the key returned by the given keySelector function applied to each character and returns a map where each group key is associated with a list of corresponding characters.

The returned map preserves the entry iteration order of the keys produced from the original char sequence.

import kotlin.test.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val words = listOf("a", "abc", "ab", "def", "abcd")
val byLength = words.groupBy { it.length }

println(byLength.keys) // [1, 3, 2, 4]
println(byLength.values) // [[a], [abc, def], [ab], [abcd]]

val mutableByLength: MutableMap<Int, MutableList<String>> = words.groupByTo(mutableMapOf()) { it.length }
// same content as in byLength map, but the map is mutable
println("mutableByLength == byLength is ${mutableByLength == byLength}") // true
//sampleEnd
}

inline fun <K, V> CharSequence.groupBy(
    keySelector: (Char) -> K, 
    valueTransform: (Char) -> V
): Map<K, List<V>>

Groups values returned by the valueTransform function applied to each character of the original char sequence by the key returned by the given keySelector function applied to the character and returns a map where each group key is associated with a list of corresponding values.

The returned map preserves the entry iteration order of the keys produced from the original char sequence.

import kotlin.test.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val nameToTeam = listOf("Alice" to "Marketing", "Bob" to "Sales", "Carol" to "Marketing")
val namesByTeam = nameToTeam.groupBy({ it.second }, { it.first })
println(namesByTeam) // {Marketing=[Alice, Carol], Sales=[Bob]}

val mutableNamesByTeam = nameToTeam.groupByTo(HashMap(), { it.second }, { it.first })
// same content as in namesByTeam map, but the map is mutable
println("mutableNamesByTeam == namesByTeam is ${mutableNamesByTeam == namesByTeam}") // true
//sampleEnd
}
