Is it possible to find methods during runtime passing a variable or a string name in Kotlin like in groovy





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

For example there is the possibility in grovy to execute a method using following code:



    @Test
void shouldAccessMethodDynamically() {
DynamicClass dynamic = new DynamicClass()
String name = 'dynamicMethod'

assert dynamic."$name"() == "dynamic"
assert dynamic."dynamicMethod"() == "dynamic"
}


Is this also possible in Kotlin?

          val dynamic = DynamicClass()
          val name = "dynamicMethod"

          dynamic.javaClass.getMethod(name).invoke(dynamic)


          If you like to do it in more "kotlin way", you can use it like:



          DynamicClass::class.memberFunctions.find { it.name == "name" }?.call(dynamic)
