What is the difference between var and val and val const ?

-> Var are mutable and assigned with the values multiple times 

-> Val is read-only and not purely immutable, val can be initialized at runtime/runtime constants 

-> const will be assigned to immutable property of the class, only with the primitive datatypes and the string, not objects, const will be initialized at the compile time/compile time constants 

-> val const - immutable + compile time

Difference between RecyclerView and Listview :- 1. RecyclerView forces to use RecyclerView.ViewHolder (Inbuilt view Holder) to hold the elements, to reuse the cells while scrolling, which was optional in Listview which we used to create in adapters getView() method. 2. Animation while adding list items or removing list items are already added in the recyclerview. 3. List views were only of vertical...
