How do you create a Gradle build file for a Kotlin project?

To create a Gradle build file for a Kotlin project, follow these steps:

• Create a new directory: Create a new directory for your Kotlin project if you haven’t already done so.
• Create a build.gradle file: Inside the project directory, create a new file named build.gradle. This file will contain the configuration for your Gradle build.
• Define project settings: In the build.gradle file, define the basic settings for your project, including the project name, version, and description.
• Apply the Kotlin plugin: Apply the Kotlin plugin to your project by adding the following line to the build.gradle file:

groovy

plugins {
 id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version 'x.x.x'
}

• Replace ‘x.x.x’ with the version of the Kotlin plugin you want to use.
• Specify dependencies: Inside the dependencies block, specify the dependencies you need for your Kotlin project using the implementation configuration.
• Define tasks: Define any additional tasks or configurations you need for your project, such as test tasks, build configurations, or custom tasks.
• Sync Gradle: After defining the build file, sync your Gradle project to download the required dependencies and update the project configuration.
