The data class also allows us to decompose an object into properties. Simply create a list of variables and assign an object to them:

val abid = Person("Abid", 40, 6.0)
val (name, age, height) = abid

This will assign each property to the distinct variable:

data class Person(var name : String, var age: Int, var height: Double)
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
   val abid = Person("Abid", 40, 6.0)
   val (name, age, height) = abid
   println("name=$name age=$age height=$height")
}

There is another way to access class properties by using the component function. The data class generates a component to correspond to each property. If a class contains two properties, there will be a component1 and a component2 function:

data class Person(var name : String, var age: Int, var height: Double)
fun main(args: Array<String>) {

    val abid = Person("Abid", 40, 6.0)
    println("name=${abid.component1()} " +
            "age=${abid.component2()} " +
            "height=${abid.component3()}")
}
