What are the primary advantages of using a data class?
Tests Kotlin boilerplate reduction and value semantics. Name three generated functions like equals, hashCode, and copy; explain structural equality; and show copy updating immutable UI state.
Tests your understanding of Kotlin compiler-generated boilerplate and value semantics. A strong answer identifies three generated functions such as toString, equals, hashCode, copy, or componentN; explains structural equality compares property values not memory addresses; and provides a concrete copy use case like updating immutable ViewModel UI state where only one field changes. Red flag: describing data classes as mere storage without acknowledging compiler-generated functions, equality contracts, or why copy enables safe immutable updates.
