Examples 1-10: Basic Syntax and Types

Example 1: Variable Declaration and Type Inference

Variables store data using explicit types or type inference with var.

void main() {
  // Explicit type declarations
  String donorName = 'Ahmad';          // => donorName stores 'Ahmad' (type: String)
                                        // => String type explicitly declared

  int donationAmount = 500000;          // => donationAmount stores 500000 (type: int)
                                        // => Integer type for whole numbers

  double zakatRate = 0.025;             // => zakatRate stores 0.025 (type: double)
                                        // => Double type for decimal values

  bool isPaid = true;                   // => isPaid stores true (type: bool)
                                        // => Boolean type for true/false values

  // Type inference with var
  var masjidName = 'Al-Hikmah';         // => masjidName inferred as String
                                        // => Type determined from initial value

  var memberCount = 150;                // => memberCount inferred as int
                                        // => Type cannot change after declaration

  print('$donorName donated: Rp$donationAmount');  // => Output: Ahmad donated: Rp500000
                                                    // => String interpolation with $
}

Key Takeaway: Dart supports both explicit types and type inference with var. Once declared, variable types are fixed (statically typed).

Expected Output:

Ahmad donated: Rp500000

Common Pitfalls: Using var without initialization causes compile error. Type cannot change after declaration.

Example 2: Null Safety Basics

Dart enforces null safety, preventing null reference errors at compile time.

void main() {
  // Non-nullable types (default)
  String donorName = 'Fatimah';         // => donorName cannot be null
                                        // => Must always have a String value

  // Nullable types with ? suffix
  String? optionalPhone;                // => optionalPhone can be null or String
                                        // => Initialized to null by default

  String? optionalEmail = 'donor@example.com';  // => Can store String or null
                                                 // => Currently holds String value

  // Null-aware operators
  String phone = optionalPhone ?? 'No phone';  // => ?? returns right side if left is null
                                                // => phone stores 'No phone' (optionalPhone is null)

  String email = optionalEmail!;        // => ! asserts value is not null
                                        // => email stores 'donor@example.com'
                                        // => Throws error if null (use carefully!)

  // Null-aware method call
  int? length = optionalPhone?.length;  // => ?. calls method only if not null
                                        // => length stores null (optionalPhone is null)

  print('Phone: $phone');               // => Output: Phone: No phone
  print('Email: $email');               // => Output: Email: donor@example.com
  print('Phone length: $length');       // => Output: Phone length: null
}

Key Takeaway: Non-nullable by default (String) prevents null errors. Nullable types use ? suffix (String?). Use ??, !, and ?. operators for null handling.

Expected Output:

Phone: No phone
Email: donor@example.com
Phone length: null

Common Pitfalls: Using ! operator on null value throws runtime error. Always verify value is non-null before using !.

Example 3: String Manipulation

Strings support interpolation, concatenation, and various manipulation methods.

void main() {
  String firstName = 'Abdullah';        // => firstName stores 'Abdullah'
  String lastName = 'Rahman';           // => lastName stores 'Rahman'

  // String interpolation
  String fullName = '$firstName $lastName';  // => Interpolates with $
                                              // => fullName stores 'Abdullah Rahman'

  // Expression interpolation
  String greeting = 'As-salamu alaykum, ${fullName.toUpperCase()}!';
                                        // => ${} evaluates expression
                                        // => toUpperCase() converts to uppercase
                                        // => greeting stores 'As-salamu alaykum, ABDULLAH RAHMAN!'

  // String concatenation
  String message = 'Donor: ' + fullName;  // => + operator concatenates strings
                                          // => message stores 'Donor: Abdullah Rahman'

  // Multi-line strings
  String report = '''
Zakat Report
Donor: $fullName
Status: Confirmed
''';                                    // => Triple quotes create multi-line string
                                        // => report stores formatted text with newlines

  // String methods
  int length = fullName.length;         // => length stores 16 (character count)
  bool contains = fullName.contains('Abdullah');  // => contains stores true
                                                   // => Checks substring existence

  String upper = fullName.toUpperCase();  // => upper stores 'ABDULLAH RAHMAN'
  String lower = fullName.toLowerCase();  // => lower stores 'abdullah rahman'

  print(greeting);                      // => Output: As-salamu alaykum, ABDULLAH RAHMAN!
  print('Length: $length');             // => Output: Length: 16
}

Key Takeaway: Use $variable for simple interpolation, ${expression} for complex expressions. Strings are immutable - methods return new strings.

Expected Output:

As-salamu alaykum, ABDULLAH RAHMAN!
Length: 16

Common Pitfalls: Forgetting {} around complex expressions in interpolation. Strings are immutable - methods create new instances.

Example 4: Basic Arithmetic and Operators

Dart provides standard arithmetic operators and operator precedence.

void main() {
  // Zakat calculation variables
  double wealth = 100000000.0;          // => wealth stores 100 million (type: double)
  double zakatRate = 0.025;             // => zakatRate stores 2.5%

  // Arithmetic operators
  double zakatAmount = wealth * zakatRate;  // => Multiplication operator
                                             // => zakatAmount stores 2500000.0

  double remaining = wealth - zakatAmount;  // => Subtraction operator
                                             // => remaining stores 97500000.0

  double future = wealth + 5000000.0;   // => Addition operator
                                        // => future stores 105000000.0

  double rate = zakatAmount / wealth;   // => Division operator (returns double)
                                        // => rate stores 0.025

  int wholePart = zakatAmount ~/ 1000000;  // => Integer division operator
                                            // => wholePart stores 2 (truncates decimal)

  double remainder = zakatAmount % 1000000;  // => Modulo operator (remainder)
                                              // => remainder stores 500000.0

  // Comparison operators
  bool isAboveNisab = wealth >= 85000000.0;  // => Greater than or equal
                                              // => isAboveNisab stores true

  bool isPaid = zakatAmount > 0.0;      // => Greater than comparison
                                        // => isPaid stores true

  // Logical operators
  bool eligible = isAboveNisab && !isPaid;  // => Logical AND with NOT
                                             // => eligible stores false (isPaid is true)

  print('Zakat amount: Rp${zakatAmount.toStringAsFixed(2)}');
                                        // => toStringAsFixed(2) formats to 2 decimals
                                        // => Output: Zakat amount: Rp2500000.00

  print('Eligible for Zakat: $isAboveNisab');  // => Output: Eligible for Zakat: true
}

Key Takeaway: Use / for double division, ~/ for integer division. Comparison operators return bool. Logical operators: && (AND), || (OR), ! (NOT).

Expected Output:

Zakat amount: Rp2500000.00
Eligible for Zakat: true

Common Pitfalls: Mixing int and double works in Dart (auto-promoted), but ~/ truncates to int. Order of operations matters.

Example 5: Control Flow - If/Else

Conditional statements execute code blocks based on boolean conditions.

void main() {
  double wealth = 50000000.0;           // => wealth stores 50 million
                                        // => wealth is 50000000.0 (type: double)
  const double nisab = 85000000.0;      // => nisab is compile-time constant
                                        // => Minimum Zakat threshold (85 million)
                                        // => const means value fixed at compile time

  // Simple if statement
  if (wealth >= nisab) {                // => Condition evaluates to false
                                        // => 50000000.0 >= 85000000.0 is false
                                        // => Block skipped, execution jumps to line after }
    print('Zakat is obligatory');       // => Block not executed
  }                                     // => Execution continues after if
                                        // => No else block, so continue to next statement

  // If-else statement
  if (wealth >= nisab) {                // => Condition: false
                                        // => Same condition as above (50M < 85M)
    double zakat = wealth * 0.025;      // => Not executed
                                        // => Would calculate 2.5% if condition true
    print('Pay Zakat: Rp$zakat');       // => Not executed
  } else {                              // => else block executes
                                        // => Runs when if condition is false
    double shortfall = nisab - wealth;  // => shortfall stores 35000000.0
                                        // => 85000000.0 - 50000000.0 = 35000000.0
    print('Below nisab by: Rp$shortfall');
                                        // => Output: Below nisab by: Rp35000000.0
  }                                     // => End of if-else statement

  // If-else if-else chain
  String donorType;                     // => Variable to store result
                                        // => donorType declared, not initialized yet (type: String)
  int annualDonation = 15000000;        // => annualDonation stores 15 million
                                        // => annualDonation is 15000000 (type: int)

  if (annualDonation >= 50000000) {     // => First condition: false
                                        // => 15000000 >= 50000000 is false
                                        // => Skip to next else if
    donorType = 'Platinum';             // => Not executed
  } else if (annualDonation >= 20000000) {
                                        // => Second condition: false
                                        // => 15000000 >= 20000000 is false
                                        // => Skip to next else if
    donorType = 'Gold';                 // => Not executed
  } else if (annualDonation >= 10000000) {
                                        // => Third condition: true
                                        // => 15000000 >= 10000000 is true
                                        // => Execute this block
    donorType = 'Silver';               // => donorType assigned 'Silver'
                                        // => donorType now initialized with value
  } else {                              // => Not reached
                                        // => Only executes if all conditions false
    donorType = 'Bronze';               // => Not executed
  }                                     // => End of if-else if-else chain

  print('Donor status: $donorType');    // => Output: Donor status: Silver
                                        // => String interpolation displays donorType value

  // Ternary operator (conditional expression)
  String status = wealth >= nisab ? 'Obligatory' : 'Optional';
                                        // => Inline if-else expression
                                        // => condition ? trueValue : falseValue
                                        // => wealth >= nisab is false
                                        // => status stores 'Optional' (condition false)

  print('Zakat status: $status');       // => Output: Zakat status: Optional
                                        // => String interpolation displays status value
}                                       // => End of main function

Key Takeaway: Use if-else for branching logic. Conditions must evaluate to bool. Ternary operator condition ? trueValue : falseValue for simple assignments.

Expected Output:

Below nisab by: Rp35000000.0
Donor status: Silver
Zakat status: Optional

Common Pitfalls: Forgetting braces with single statements works but reduces readability. Ternary operator should be simple - use if-else for complex logic.

Example 6: Control Flow - For Loops

For loops iterate a fixed number of times with counter variable.

void main() {
  // Standard for loop with counter
  print('Monthly savings plan:');      // => Header output

  for (int month = 1; month <= 5; month++) {  // => Initialize, condition, increment
                                               // => month starts at 1
    double savings = month * 500000.0;  // => Calculate cumulative savings
                                        // => Iteration 1: 500000.0
                                        // => Iteration 2: 1000000.0
                                        // => ... up to iteration 5
    print('Month $month: Rp$savings');  // => Output each month's total
  }                                     // => Loop completes after month = 5

  // For loop with custom increment
  print('\nQuarterly Zakat payments:');  // => \n creates newline

  for (int quarter = 1; quarter <= 12; quarter += 3) {  // => Increment by 3
                                                         // => quarter: 1, 4, 7, 10
    double payment = 1000000.0 * quarter;  // => Calculate payment amount
    print('Quarter ${quarter ~/ 3 + 1}: Rp$payment');  // => ~/ divides and truncates
                                                        // => Outputs 4 times total
  }

  // For-in loop (iterate over collection)
  List<String> donors = ['Ahmad', 'Fatimah', 'Ali'];  // => List of 3 names

  print('\nDonor thank you messages:');  // => Header

  for (String donor in donors) {        // => donor takes each list element
                                        // => Iteration 1: donor = 'Ahmad'
                                        // => Iteration 2: donor = 'Fatimah'
                                        // => Iteration 3: donor = 'Ali'
    print('Jazakallah khair, $donor!');  // => Output thank you message
  }                                     // => Loop completes after all elements

  // Nested for loops
  print('\nDonation matrix:');          // => Header

  for (int row = 1; row <= 3; row++) {  // => Outer loop: 3 iterations
    String line = '';                   // => Initialize empty string for row

    for (int col = 1; col <= 4; col++) {  // => Inner loop: 4 iterations per row
      int amount = row * col * 100000;  // => Calculate cell value
      line += 'Rp$amount ';             // => Append to line string
    }                                   // => Inner loop completes

    print(line);                        // => Output complete row
  }                                     // => Outer loop continues
}

Key Takeaway: Standard for loop uses initialize; condition; increment. For-in loop iterates collections. Nested loops create multi-dimensional patterns.

Expected Output:

Monthly savings plan:
Month 1: Rp500000.0
Month 2: Rp1000000.0
Month 3: Rp1500000.0
Month 4: Rp2000000.0
Month 5: Rp2500000.0

Quarterly Zakat payments:
Quarter 1: Rp1000000.0
Quarter 2: Rp4000000.0
Quarter 3: Rp7000000.0
Quarter 4: Rp10000000.0

Donor thank you messages:
Jazakallah khair, Ahmad!
Jazakallah khair, Fatimah!
Jazakallah khair, Ali!

Donation matrix:
Rp100000 Rp200000 Rp300000 Rp400000
Rp200000 Rp400000 Rp600000 Rp800000
Rp300000 Rp600000 Rp900000 Rp1200000

Common Pitfalls: Off-by-one errors with loop conditions. Forgetting to increment counter causes infinite loop. Modifying collection during for-in loop causes error.

Example 7: Control Flow - While and Do-While

While loops execute code repeatedly while condition remains true.

void main() {

Key Takeaway: While loops check condition before execution. Do-while loops execute at least once. Use break to exit early, continue to skip iteration.

Expected Output:

Sadaqah withdrawals:
Withdrawal 1: Rp500000.0, Remaining: Rp9500000.0
Withdrawal 2: Rp500000.0, Remaining: Rp9000000.0
...
Withdrawal 20: Rp500000.0, Remaining: Rp0.0
Total withdrawals: 20

Donation collection:
Attempt 1: Collected Rp100000.0
Attempt 2: Collected Rp200000.0
Attempt 3: Collected Rp300000.0
Attempt 4: Collected Rp400000.0
Attempt 5: Collected Rp500000.0
Target reached after 5 attempts

Ramadan countdown:
10 days remaining
9 days remaining
...
1 days remaining
Ramadan Mubarak!

Processing donors:
Donor 1: Processed successfully
Donor 2: Invalid (skipped)
Donor 3: Processed successfully
Donor 4: Invalid (skipped)
Donor 5: Processed successfully
Valid donors: 3

Common Pitfalls: Infinite loops when condition never becomes false. Do-while executes at least once even if condition initially false.

Example 8: Switch Statements

Switch statements match a value against multiple cases for multi-way branching.

                                        // => Control jumps to matching case
    case 'Cash':                        // => This case matches ('Cash' == 'Cash')

      break;                            // => Exit point for default case
  }                                     // => End of switch statement

}                                       // => End of main function

Key Takeaway: Switch matches value against cases. Each case needs break to prevent fall-through. Multiple cases can share implementation. Use default for unmatched values.

Expected Output:

Cash payment received
No processing fee
Ramadan - Zakat collection peak
Donor category: Silver (5M - 10M)
Zakat al-Mal (Wealth): 2.5%

Common Pitfalls: Forgetting break causes fall-through to next case. Switch only works with compile-time constants.

Example 9: Lists - Creation and Basic Operations

Lists are ordered collections of elements with dynamic or fixed length.

void main() {
  // List literal creation
  List<String> donors = ['Ahmad', 'Fatimah', 'Ali'];  // => Create list with 3 elements
                                                       // => Type: List<String>

  List<int> amounts = [500000, 1000000, 750000];  // => List of integers
                                                  // => Type: List<int>

  // Access elements by index (zero-based)
  String firstDonor = donors[0];        // => firstDonor stores 'Ahmad'
                                        // => Index 0 is first element

  int lastAmount = amounts[amounts.length - 1];  // => Get last element
                                                 // => length property returns 3
                                                 // => lastAmount stores 750000

  print('First donor: $firstDonor');    // => Output: First donor: Ahmad
  print('Last amount: Rp$lastAmount');  // => Output: Last amount: Rp750000

  // Add elements
  donors.add('Zainab');                 // => Append to end of list
                                        // => donors now has 4 elements

  amounts.addAll([250000, 500000]);     // => Add multiple elements
                                        // => amounts now has 5 elements

  donors.insert(1, 'Hassan');           // => Insert at index 1
                                        // => Shifts existing elements right
                                        // => donors: ['Ahmad', 'Hassan', 'Fatimah', 'Ali', 'Zainab']

  print('Donors count: ${donors.length}');  // => Output: Donors count: 5

  // Remove elements
  amounts.removeLast();                 // => Remove last element (500000)
                                        // => amounts now has 4 elements

  donors.removeAt(2);                   // => Remove element at index 2 ('Fatimah')
                                        // => donors now has 4 elements

  bool removed = amounts.remove(1000000);  // => Remove by value
                                           // => removed stores true (found and removed)
                                           // => amounts: [500000, 750000, 250000]

  // Check for elements
  bool hasDonor = donors.contains('Ali');  // => hasDonor stores true
                                           // => 'Ali' exists in list

  int index = amounts.indexOf(750000);  // => index stores 1
                                        // => Returns -1 if not found

  bool isEmpty = donors.isEmpty;        // => isEmpty stores false
                                        // => List has 4 elements

  print('Contains Ali: $hasDonor');     // => Output: Contains Ali: true
  print('Index of 750000: $index');     // => Output: Index of 750000: 1

  // Modify elements
  donors[0] = 'Abdullah';               // => Replace first element
                                        // => donors: ['Abdullah', 'Hassan', 'Ali', 'Zainab']

  amounts[1] += 250000;                 // => Increase element by 250000
                                        // => amounts[1] now 1000000

  // Iterate over list
  print('All donors:');                 // => Header
  for (String donor in donors) {        // => For-in loop
    print('- $donor');                  // => Output each donor with bullet
  }                                     // => Outputs 4 lines

  // Create list with specific length
  List<double> zakatPayments = List.filled(3, 0.0);  // => Create list of 3 elements
                                                      // => All initialized to 0.0
                                                      // => Type: List<double>

  zakatPayments[0] = 500000.0;          // => Set first element
  zakatPayments[1] = 750000.0;          // => Set second element
  zakatPayments[2] = 1000000.0;         // => Set third element

  print('Payments: $zakatPayments');    // => Output: Payments: [500000.0, 750000.0, 1000000.0]
}

Key Takeaway: Lists are ordered, indexed (0-based) collections. Use add, insert, remove to modify. Access elements with [] operator. Check length, contains, indexOf for info.

Expected Output:

First donor: Ahmad
Last amount: Rp750000
Donors count: 5
Contains Ali: true
Index of 750000: 1
All donors:
- Abdullah
- Hassan
- Ali
- Zainab
Payments: [500000.0, 750000.0, 1000000.0]

Common Pitfalls: Index out of range throws error. Lists are zero-based (first element is index 0). Modifying list during iteration causes error.

Example 10: Maps - Key-Value Storage

Maps store data as key-value pairs for efficient lookups.

void main() {
  // Map literal creation
  Map<String, int> donorAmounts = {     // => Key type: String, Value type: int
    'Ahmad': 500000,                    // => Key-value pair
    'Fatimah': 1000000,                 // => Key must be unique
    'Ali': 750000,                      // => Value can duplicate
  };                                    // => Map with 3 entries

  // Access values by key
  int? ahmadAmount = donorAmounts['Ahmad'];  // => ahmadAmount stores 500000
                                             // => Returns int? (nullable)

  int? unknownAmount = donorAmounts['Unknown'];  // => unknownAmount stores null
                                                 // => Key doesn't exist

  print('Ahmad donated: Rp${ahmadAmount ?? 0}');  // => Output: Ahmad donated: Rp500000
                                                   // => ?? provides default if null

  // Add or update entries
  donorAmounts['Zainab'] = 1250000;     // => Add new key-value pair
                                        // => Map now has 4 entries

  donorAmounts['Ahmad'] = 600000;       // => Update existing key
                                        // => Replaces old value 500000

  // Remove entries
  int? removed = donorAmounts.remove('Ali');  // => Remove by key
                                              // => removed stores 750000 (old value)
                                              // => Map now has 3 entries

  // Check for keys/values
  bool hasKey = donorAmounts.containsKey('Fatimah');  // => hasKey stores true
                                                      // => Key exists

  bool hasValue = donorAmounts.containsValue(1000000);  // => hasValue stores true
                                                         // => Value exists

  print('Has Fatimah: $hasKey');        // => Output: Has Fatimah: true
  print('Has 1000000: $hasValue');      // => Output: Has 1000000: true

  // Map properties
  int size = donorAmounts.length;       // => size stores 3
                                        // => Number of entries

  bool isEmpty = donorAmounts.isEmpty;  // => isEmpty stores false
                                        // => Map has entries

  // Iterate over map
  print('All donations:');              // => Header
  donorAmounts.forEach((String name, int amount) {  // => forEach with callback
                                                     // => name receives key
                                                     // => amount receives value
    print('$name: Rp$amount');          // => Output key-value pair
  });                                   // => Executes 3 times

  // Get keys and values as collections
  Iterable<String> names = donorAmounts.keys;  // => Get all keys
                                               // => Type: Iterable<String>

  Iterable<int> amounts = donorAmounts.values;  // => Get all values
                                                // => Type: Iterable<int>

  print('Donor names: ${names.toList()}');  // => Convert Iterable to List
                                            // => Output: Donor names: [Ahmad, Fatimah, Zainab]

  // Calculate total from map values
  int total = 0;                        // => Initialize accumulator
  for (int amount in amounts) {         // => Iterate over values
    total += amount;                    // => Add to total
  }                                     // => Loop completes
  print('Total donations: Rp$total');   // => Output: Total donations: Rp2850000

  // Map with non-string keys
  Map<int, String> monthNames = {       // => Key type: int, Value type: String
    1: 'Muharram',                      // => Integer keys
    3: 'Rabi al-Awwal',
    9: 'Ramadan',
    12: 'Dhul Hijjah',
  };                                    // => Map with 4 entries

  String? ramadan = monthNames[9];      // => ramadan stores 'Ramadan'
  print('Month 9: $ramadan');           // => Output: Month 9: Ramadan

  // Map with default values
  Map<String, double> zakatRates = {    // => Key: String, Value: double
    'Wealth': 0.025,                    // => 2.5%
    'Agriculture': 0.10,                // => 10%
    'Gold': 0.025,                      // => 2.5%
  };

  double rate = zakatRates['Wealth'] ?? 0.0;  // => Get with default
                                              // => rate stores 0.025

  print('Wealth Zakat rate: ${rate * 100}%');  // => Output: Wealth Zakat rate: 2.5%
}

Key Takeaway: Maps store key-value pairs. Keys must be unique. Use [] to access/modify. Methods: containsKey, containsValue, remove, forEach. Access keys/values as Iterables.

Expected Output:

Ahmad donated: Rp500000
Has Fatimah: true
Has 1000000: true
All donations:
Ahmad: Rp600000
Fatimah: Rp1000000
Zainab: Rp1250000
Donor names: [Ahmad, Fatimah, Zainab]
Total donations: Rp2850000
Month 9: Ramadan
Wealth Zakat rate: 2.5%

Common Pitfalls: Accessing non-existent key returns null (not error). Keys must be unique - adding duplicate key replaces value. Map iteration order matches insertion order.

                                        // => message stores formatted string
  print(message);                       // => Output: Ahmad donated Rp500000

  // Call function with named parameter override
  String usdMessage = formatDonation('Fatimah', 100, currency: '\$');
                                        // => Override currency parameter
                                        // => usdMessage stores 'Fatimah donated $100'
  print(usdMessage);                    // => Output: Fatimah donated $100

  // Call function with required named parameters
  printReceipt(                         // => Call with named parameters
    donor: 'Ali',                       // => Provide required donor
    amount: 750000.0,                   // => Provide required amount
    reference: 'REF-2025-001',          // => Provide optional reference
  );                                    // => Prints receipt

  // Call function without optional parameter
  printReceipt(                         // => Call without reference
    donor: 'Zainab',
    amount: 1000000.0,
  );                                    // => reference is null

  // Call arrow function
  double threshold = nisabThreshold();  // => Call function
                                        // => threshold stores 85000000.0
  print('Nisab threshold: Rp$threshold');  // => Output: Nisab threshold: Rp85000000.0

  // Call void function
  logDonation('Processing payment');    // => Execute function
                                        // => Prints: [LOG] Processing payment
}

Key Takeaway: Functions can have positional or named parameters. Named parameters use {}. Use required for mandatory named parameters. Arrow functions => for single expressions. void for functions without return value.

Expected Output:

Zakat amount: Rp2500000.0
Ahmad donated Rp500000
Fatimah donated $100
Donation Receipt
Donor: Ali
Amount: Rp750000.0
Reference: REF-2025-001
Donation Receipt
Donor: Zainab
Amount: Rp1000000.0
Nisab threshold: Rp85000000.0
[LOG] Processing payment

Common Pitfalls: Named parameters are optional unless marked required. Positional parameters come before named parameters. Arrow functions limited to single expression.

Example 12: Function Advanced - First-Class Functions

Functions are first-class objects that can be assigned, passed, and returned.

// Function type definition
typedef ZakatCalculator = double Function(double wealth);
                                        // => Type alias for function signature
                                        // => Takes double, returns double

// Higher-order function (accepts function as parameter)
double applyZakatRule(double wealth, ZakatCalculator calculator) {
                                        // => Takes wealth and calculator function
  return calculator(wealth);            // => Call passed function
}                                       // => Returns calculated result

// Function returning function
ZakatCalculator getCalculator(String type) {  // => Returns function type
  if (type == 'wealth') {               // => Check type parameter
    return (double w) => w * 0.025;     // => Return function for wealth Zakat
                                        // => Anonymous function (lambda)
  } else if (type == 'agriculture') {
    return (double w) => w * 0.10;      // => Return function for agriculture
  } else {
    return (double w) => 0.0;           // => Default function returns 0
  }
}

void main() {
  // Assign function to variable
  ZakatCalculator wealthZakat = (double wealth) {  // => Store function in variable
                                                   // => Type: ZakatCalculator
    return wealth * 0.025;              // => Function body
  };                                    // => Function assigned

  double result = wealthZakat(100000000.0);  // => Call function via variable
                                             // => result stores 2500000.0
  print('Wealth Zakat: Rp$result');     // => Output: Wealth Zakat: Rp2500000.0

  // Pass function as argument
  double agricultureZakat = applyZakatRule(
    50000000.0,                         // => wealth argument
    (double w) => w * 0.10,             // => Anonymous function as argument
  );                                    // => agricultureZakat stores 5000000.0
  print('Agriculture Zakat: Rp$agricultureZakat');
                                        // => Output: Agriculture Zakat: Rp5000000.0

  // Get function from factory
  ZakatCalculator calculator = getCalculator('wealth');
                                        // => Retrieve function for wealth type
                                        // => calculator stores function

  double zakat = calculator(75000000.0);  // => Call retrieved function
                                          // => zakat stores 1875000.0
  print('Calculated Zakat: Rp$zakat');  // => Output: Calculated Zakat: Rp1875000.0

  // List of functions
  List<double Function(double)> calculators = [  // => List of function types
    (double w) => w * 0.025,            // => Wealth calculator
    (double w) => w * 0.10,             // => Agriculture calculator
    (double w) => w * 0.05,             // => Trade calculator
  ];                                    // => List with 3 functions

  print('Multiple Zakat calculations:');  // => Header
  for (var calc in calculators) {       // => Iterate over functions
    double amount = calc(10000000.0);   // => Call each function
    print('- Rp$amount');               // => Output result
  }                                     // => 3 outputs

  // Closure (function captures outer variables)
  double baseRate = 0.025;              // => Variable in outer scope

  ZakatCalculator closureCalc = (double wealth) {
                                        // => Function captures baseRate
    return wealth * baseRate;           // => Uses captured variable
  };                                    // => Closure created

  print('Base calculation: Rp${closureCalc(50000000.0)}');
                                        // => Output: Base calculation: Rp1250000.0

  baseRate = 0.03;                      // => Modify captured variable
  print('Modified calculation: Rp${closureCalc(50000000.0)}');
                                        // => Output: Modified calculation: Rp1500000.0
                                        // => Closure sees updated value

  // Function as callback
  void processDonation(double amount, void Function(String) callback) {
                                        // => Takes amount and callback function
    String message = 'Processed Rp$amount';  // => Create message
    callback(message);                  // => Call callback with message
  }

  processDonation(750000.0, (String msg) {  // => Pass callback function
    print('Callback: $msg');            // => Callback prints message
  });                                   // => Output: Callback: Processed Rp750000.0
}

Key Takeaway: Functions are first-class: assignable to variables, passable as arguments, returnable from functions. Use typedef for function types. Closures capture outer scope variables.

Expected Output:

Wealth Zakat: Rp2500000.0
Agriculture Zakat: Rp5000000.0
Calculated Zakat: Rp1875000.0
Multiple Zakat calculations:
- Rp250000.0
- Rp1000000.0
- Rp500000.0
Base calculation: Rp1250000.0
Modified calculation: Rp1500000.0
Callback: Processed Rp750000.0

Common Pitfalls: Closures capture variables by reference - modifications visible. Anonymous functions need proper syntax. Function type compatibility matters.

Example 13: Classes and Objects Basics

Classes define object blueprints with properties and methods.

// Basic class definition
class Donor {                           // => Class named Donor
  String name;                          // => Instance field (property)
  double totalDonations;                // => Stores cumulative amount

  // Constructor
  Donor(this.name, this.totalDonations);  // => Shorthand constructor
                                          // => this.field assigns parameter to field

  // Method
  void donate(double amount) {          // => Instance method
    totalDonations += amount;           // => Modify instance field
    print('$name donated Rp$amount');   // => Access instance field
  }                                     // => Method ends

  // Getter (computed property)
  String get category {                 // => Getter method (no parentheses when called)
    if (totalDonations >= 10000000) {   // => Check donation level
      return 'Gold';                    // => Return category
    } else if (totalDonations >= 5000000) {
      return 'Silver';
    } else {
      return 'Bronze';
    }
  }                                     // => Getter ends
}

void main() {
  // Create instance (object)
  Donor ahmad = Donor('Ahmad', 0.0);    // => Create new Donor object
                                        // => ahmad references object
                                        // => name: 'Ahmad', totalDonations: 0.0

  // Access fields
  print('Donor: ${ahmad.name}');        // => Access name field
                                        // => Output: Donor: Ahmad

  print('Total: Rp${ahmad.totalDonations}');
                                        // => Output: Total: Rp0.0

  // Call methods
  ahmad.donate(2500000.0);              // => Call donate method
                                        // => Modifies totalDonations
                                        // => Output: Ahmad donated Rp2500000.0

  ahmad.donate(3000000.0);              // => Call again
                                        // => totalDonations now 5500000.0
                                        // => Output: Ahmad donated Rp3000000.0

  // Access getter
  String ahmadCategory = ahmad.category;  // => Call getter (no parentheses)
                                          // => ahmadCategory stores 'Silver'
  print('Category: $ahmadCategory');    // => Output: Category: Silver

  // Create multiple objects
  Donor fatimah = Donor('Fatimah', 12000000.0);
                                        // => Second Donor object
                                        // => Separate instance from ahmad

  print('${fatimah.name} is ${fatimah.category}');
                                        // => Access fields and getter
                                        // => Output: Fatimah is Gold

  // Objects are independent
  ahmad.donate(5000000.0);              // => Modify ahmad only
                                        // => ahmad.totalDonations: 10500000.0
                                        // => fatimah.totalDonations unchanged: 12000000.0

  print('Ahmad: ${ahmad.category}');    // => Output: Ahmad: Gold
  print('Fatimah: ${fatimah.category}');  // => Output: Fatimah: Gold
}

Key Takeaway: Classes define object templates with fields and methods. Constructor ClassName(this.field) initializes fields. Getters provide computed properties. Each object is independent instance.

Expected Output:

Donor: Ahmad
Total: Rp0.0
Ahmad donated Rp2500000.0
Ahmad donated Rp3000000.0
Category: Silver
Fatimah is Gold
Ahmad donated Rp5000000.0
Ahmad: Gold
Fatimah: Gold

Common Pitfalls: Forgetting new keyword is fine in Dart (optional). Getters called without (). Each instance has own field values.

Example 14: Classes - Named Constructors and Factory

Classes can have multiple constructors and factory constructors for flexible object creation.

class ZakatPayment {                    // => Class for Zakat payments
  String donorName;                     // => Donor identifier
  double amount;                        // => Payment amount
  DateTime date;                        // => Payment timestamp
  String type;                          // => Zakat type

  // Default constructor
  // => Shorthand syntax: this.field assigns constructor parameter to field
  ZakatPayment(this.donorName, this.amount, this.date, this.type);
                                        // => Standard constructor
                                        // => Requires all 4 fields at construction

  // Named constructor for wealth Zakat
  // => Named constructors enable domain-specific creation methods
  ZakatPayment.wealth(String name, double wealth)
                                        // => Named constructor syntax
                                        // => ClassName.name(...) pattern
      : donorName = name,               // => Initialize donorName
        amount = wealth * 0.025,        // => Calculate amount (2.5%)
        date = DateTime.now(),          // => Set current date
        type = 'Wealth';                // => Set type
                                        // => Initializer list with :
                                        // => Runs before constructor body

  // Named constructor for agriculture Zakat
  // => Different calculation logic than wealth Zakat
  ZakatPayment.agriculture(String name, double harvest)
      // => Takes harvest value as input
      : donorName = name,               // => Same initialization pattern
        amount = harvest * 0.10,        // => 10% for agriculture (higher rate)
        date = DateTime.now(),          // => Current timestamp
        type = 'Agriculture';           // => Identifies Zakat type
                                        // => Each named constructor encapsulates business logic

  // Factory constructor (can return cached instances)
  // => factory keyword enables returning existing instances or subtypes
  factory ZakatPayment.fromMap(Map<String, dynamic> map) {
                                        // => factory keyword
                                        // => Can return existing instance or subtype
                                        // => Unlike regular constructors, can control what gets returned
    return ZakatPayment(                // => Create and return instance
      // => Calls default constructor internally
      map['donorName'] as String,       // => Extract from map with type cast
      map['amount'] as double,          // => Type cast ensures double
      DateTime.parse(map['date'] as String),
                                        // => Parse string to DateTime
                                        // => Handles date deserialization
      map['type'] as String,            // => Extract type field
    );                                  // => Return created object
                                        // => Factory enables custom construction logic
  }

  // Const constructor (compile-time constant objects)
  const ZakatPayment.constant({         // => const constructor
    required this.donorName,            // => Must initialize all fields
    required this.amount,
    required this.date,
    required this.type,
  });                                   // => All fields must be final for const

  void printReceipt() {                 // => Method to display info
    print('---Receipt---');             // => Print header
    print('Donor: $donorName');         // => String interpolation with $
                                        // => Outputs donor name
    print('Type: $type');               // => Display Zakat type
    print('Amount: Rp$amount');         // => Display calculated amount
    print('Date: ${date.year}-${date.month}-${date.day}');
                                        // => Extract year, month, day from DateTime
                                        // => ${expression} syntax for complex interpolation
    print('------------');               // => Print footer
  }                                     // => Method completes
}

void main() {
  // Use default constructor
  ZakatPayment payment1 = ZakatPayment(

  payment3.printReceipt();

  // Use factory constructor with map

  };

  ZakatPayment payment4 = ZakatPayment.fromMap(data);
                                        // => Create from map
                                        // => Factory handles parsing

  payment4.printReceipt();

  // Compare construction approaches
  print('Wealth Zakat calculated: Rp${payment2.amount}');
                                        // => Output: Rp2500000.0
  print('Agriculture Zakat calculated: Rp${payment3.amount}');
                                        // => Output: Rp5000000.0
}

Key Takeaway: Named constructors provide multiple construction methods. Use initializer list : to set fields. Factory constructors allow returning cached/subtype instances. Named constructors clarify intent.

Common Pitfalls: Named constructor syntax is ClassName.name. Initializer list uses : not {}. Factory constructors must return instance.

Example 15: Classes - Getters and Setters

Getters and setters provide controlled access to object properties with validation.

class DonationAccount {                 // => Class for managing donations
  String _accountId;                    // => Private field (underscore prefix)
  double _balance;                      // => Private balance field
  List<double> _transactions = [];      // => Private transaction history

                                        // => No setter - read-only property

  // Getter for balance
  double get balance => _balance;       // => Expose balance as read-only

  // Setter for balance with validation
  // => Setters enable validation before assignment
  set balance(double value) {           // => Setter method
                                        // => Called like property: account.balance = value

                                        // => Sum all transactions
    return sum / _transactions.length;  // => Calculate average
  }                                     // => Return computed value

  // Getter with complex logic
  // => Getters can contain business logic, not just field access
  String get status {                   // => Status based on balance
                                        // => Called like property: account.status
    if (_balance >= 10000000) {         // => Check premium threshold
      return 'Premium (>= 10M)';        // => High-value account
    } else if (_balance >= 5000000) {   // => Check standard threshold
      return 'Standard (>= 5M)';        // => Mid-value account
    } else {                            // => Below standard threshold
      return 'Basic (< 5M)';            // => Low-value account
    }
  }                                     // => Computed dynamically on each access

  void deposit(double amount) {         // => Method to add funds
    if (amount <= 0) {                  // => Validate amount is positive
                                        // => Business rule enforcement
      throw ArgumentError('Amount must be positive');
                                        // => Throw error for invalid input
    }
    _balance += amount;                 // => Update balance by adding amount
    _transactions.add(amount);          // => Record positive transaction
                                        // => Maintains audit trail

  }                                     // => Method completes
}

void main() {
  // Create account
  DonationAccount account = DonationAccount('ACC-001', 5000000.0);
                                        // => Create with initial balance

  // Access getters
  print('Account: ${account.accountId}');  // => Output: Account: ACC-001

  // Access computed getter
  print('Average transaction: Rp${account.averageTransaction}');
                                        // => Output: Average transaction: Rp1000000.0
                                        // => (3000000 + (-1000000)) / 2

  // Try to set balance directly (using setter)
  try {
    account.balance = 12000000.0;       // => Use setter
                                        // => balance now 12000000.0
    print('Direct set balance: Rp${account.balance}');
                                        // => Output: Direct set balance: Rp12000000.0
    print('Status: ${account.status}'); // => Output: Status: Premium (>= 10M)
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error: $e');
  }

  // Try invalid balance (negative)

                                        // => Setter throws error

                                        // => Output: Final balance: Rp12000000.0
}

Key Takeaway: Getters provide read access, setters provide write access with validation. Use underscore _ for private fields. Computed getters calculate values on access. Setters can enforce constraints.

Expected Output:

Account: ACC-001
Balance: Rp5000000.0
Status: Standard (>= 5M)
After deposit: Rp8000000.0
Status: Standard (>= 5M)
After withdrawal: Rp7000000.0
Average transaction: Rp1000000.0
Direct set balance: Rp12000000.0
Status: Premium (>= 10M)
Caught error: Invalid argument(s): Balance cannot be negative
Final balance: Rp12000000.0

Common Pitfalls: Setters called like assignment (obj.field = value), not like methods. Private fields need getters for external access. Computed getters recalculate each access.

Example 16: Enums - Type-Safe Constants

Enums define fixed sets of named constant values for type safety.

// Basic enum

  livestock,                            // => Index 3
}                                       // => Enum ends

  print('Is gold tier: $isSameTier');   // => Output: Is gold tier: true
                                        // => String interpolation with bool value

  // Enum in collections
  Map<DonorTier, int> tierCounts = {    // => Map with enum keys
                                        // => Key type: DonorTier, Value type: int

    DonorTier.gold: 15,                 // => gold tier has 15 donors
    DonorTier.platinum: 5,              // => platinum tier has 5 donors
  };                                    // => Map literal creates Map<DonorTier, int>

  print('Gold donors: $goldCount');     // => Output: Gold donors: 15

}                                       // => End of main function

Key Takeaway: Enums provide type-safe constants. Access via EnumName.value. Enhanced enums can have fields, methods, and constructors. Use .values for all enum constants. .name and .index provide metadata.

Expected Output:

Zakat type: ZakatType.wealth
Name: wealth
Index: 0
Rate: 2.5%
All Zakat types:
- wealth
- agriculture
- gold
- livestock
Tier: gold
Min: Rp10000000.0
Max: Rp50000000.0
15000000.0 in gold: true
7.5M tier: silver
All tiers:
bronze: Rp0.0 - Rp5000000.0
silver: Rp5000000.0 - Rp10000000.0
gold: Rp10000000.0 - Rp50000000.0
platinum: Rp50000000.0 - RpInfinity
Is gold tier: true
Gold donors: 15

Common Pitfalls: Enum values accessed with dot notation. Enhanced enums require const constructor. Enum values are compile-time constants.

Example 17: Collections - Sets

Sets store unique unordered elements with efficient membership checking.

void main() {
  // Create set literal
  Set<String> donors = {'Ahmad', 'Fatimah', 'Ali'};
                                        // => Set with 3 unique elements
                                        // => Type: Set<String>

  // Add elements
  donors.add('Zainab');                 // => Add element
                                        // => donors now has 4 elements

  bool added = donors.add('Ahmad');     // => Try to add duplicate
                                        // => added stores false (already exists)
                                        // => Set unchanged (no duplicates)

  print('Donors: $donors');             // => Output: Donors: {Ahmad, Fatimah, Ali, Zainab}
  print('Ahmad added again: $added');   // => Output: Ahmad added again: false

  // Check membership (O(1) average)
  bool hasAli = donors.contains('Ali');  // => hasAli stores true
                                         // => Efficient membership check

  print('Has Ali: $hasAli');            // => Output: Has Ali: true

  // Remove elements
  bool removed = donors.remove('Fatimah');  // => Remove element
                                            // => removed stores true (found)
                                            // => donors now has 3 elements

  print('After removal: $donors');      // => Output may show different order

  // Set size
  int count = donors.length;            // => count stores 3
  print('Donor count: $count');         // => Output: Donor count: 3

  // Set operations
  Set<String> group1 = {'Ahmad', 'Fatimah', 'Ali'};
  Set<String> group2 = {'Ali', 'Zainab', 'Hassan'};

  // Union (all unique elements from both)
  Set<String> union = group1.union(group2);
                                        // => Combine both sets
                                        // => union: {Ahmad, Fatimah, Ali, Zainab, Hassan}
  print('Union: $union');               // => 5 unique elements

  // Intersection (elements in both)
  Set<String> intersection = group1.intersection(group2);
                                        // => Only common elements
                                        // => intersection: {Ali}
  print('Intersection: $intersection'); // => Output: Intersection: {Ali}

  // Difference (in first but not second)
  Set<String> difference = group1.difference(group2);
                                        // => Elements only in group1
                                        // => difference: {Ahmad, Fatimah}
  print('Difference: $difference');     // => Output: Difference: {Ahmad, Fatimah}

  // Check subset
  Set<String> subset = {'Ahmad', 'Ali'};
  bool isSubset = subset.difference(group1).isEmpty;
                                        // => Check if all elements in group1
                                        // => isSubset stores true
  print('Is subset: $isSubset');        // => Output: Is subset: true

  // Convert list to set (removes duplicates)
  List<int> amounts = [500000, 1000000, 500000, 750000, 1000000];
                                        // => List with duplicates
  Set<int> uniqueAmounts = amounts.toSet();
                                        // => Convert to set
                                        // => uniqueAmounts: {500000, 1000000, 750000}
  print('Unique amounts: $uniqueAmounts');
                                        // => Output: Unique amounts: {500000, 1000000, 750000}

  // Iterate set
  print('All unique amounts:');         // => Header
  for (int amount in uniqueAmounts) {   // => Iterate set (order not guaranteed)
    print('- Rp$amount');               // => Output each amount
  }                                     // => 3 iterations

  // Set from constructor
  Set<String> emptySet = <String>{};    // => Empty set
  Set<String> fromList = Set<String>.from(['A', 'B', 'A']);
                                        // => Create from list
                                        // => fromList: {A, B}

  print('From list: $fromList');        // => Output: From list: {A, B}

  // Check emptiness
  bool isEmpty = emptySet.isEmpty;      // => isEmpty stores true
  print('Empty set: $isEmpty');         // => Output: Empty set: true
}

Key Takeaway: Sets store unique elements in unordered collection. Use {} literal or Set() constructor. Membership checking is O(1) average. Set operations: union, intersection, difference. No duplicates allowed.

Expected Output (order may vary):

Donors: {Ahmad, Fatimah, Ali, Zainab}
Ahmad added again: false
Has Ali: true
After removal: {Ahmad, Ali, Zainab}
Donor count: 3
Union: {Ahmad, Fatimah, Ali, Zainab, Hassan}
Intersection: {Ali}
Difference: {Ahmad, Fatimah}
Is subset: true
Unique amounts: {500000, 1000000, 750000}
All unique amounts:
- Rp500000
- Rp1000000
- Rp750000
From list: {A, B}
Empty set: true

Common Pitfalls: Sets are unordered - iteration order may vary. Empty set needs type: <Type>{} or Set<Type>(). Adding duplicate returns false but doesn’t error.

Example 18: Exception Handling Basics

Try-catch blocks handle runtime errors gracefully.

// Custom exception class
class InsufficientFundsException implements Exception {
                                        // => Custom exception type

                                        // => final ensures immutability
  InsufficientFundsException(this.message);
                                        // => Constructor initializes message

  }

                                        // => compile-time constant

  if (wealth < nisab) {                 // => Check eligibility against threshold
                                        // => Zakat only applies above nisab
    throw InsufficientFundsException('Wealth below nisab threshold');
                                        // => Throw custom exception
                                        // => Different exception type than ArgumentError
  }

  return wealth * 0.025;                // => Calculate 2.5% Zakat
                                        // => Only reached if all validations passed
}                                       // => Function completes successfully

  // Basic try-catch

                                        // => Ensures resources released
    }
  }                                     // => Continue execution
                                        // => finally guarantees cleanup happens

  // Rethrow exception
  void processPayment(double amount) {  // => Function that rethrows
    try {
      if (amount <= 0) {                // => Validate
        throw ArgumentError('Invalid amount');
      }
      print('Processing: Rp$amount');
    } catch (e) {
      print('Logging error: $e');       // => Log error
      rethrow;                          // => Rethrow to caller
    }
  }

  try {
    processPayment(-500.0);             // => Invalid amount
                                        // => Throws, logs, and rethrows
  } catch (e) {
    print('Caller caught: $e');         // => Caller handles rethrown error
                                        // => Output: Caller caught: Invalid argument(s): Invalid amount
  }

  // Assert (debug-only checks)
  double wealth = 100000000.0;          // => Test value
  assert(wealth >= 0, 'Wealth must be positive');
                                        // => Assertion (only in debug mode)
                                        // => Throws if condition false

  print('Assertion passed');            // => Output if assertion passes
}

Key Takeaway: Use try-catch to handle exceptions. Catch specific types with on Type catch (e). Finally block always executes. Use rethrow to propagate exceptions. Custom exceptions implement Exception.

Expected Output:

Zakat: Rp2500000.0
Caught specific: InsufficientFundsException: Wealth below nisab threshold
Invalid argument: Invalid argument(s): Wealth cannot be negative
Starting transaction...
Transaction failed: InsufficientFundsException: Wealth below nisab threshold
Cleaning up transaction
Logging error: Invalid argument(s): Invalid amount
Caller caught: Invalid argument(s): Invalid amount
Assertion passed

Common Pitfalls: Order matters - specific catches before generic. Finally executes even with return in try/catch. Assertions only active in debug mode.

  int? invalid = int.tryParse(invalidNum);
                                        // => invalid stores null (parse failed)

  print('Parsed: $parsed');             // => Output: Parsed: 2500000
  print('Invalid: $invalid');           // => Output: Invalid: null

  print('Lower: ${mixed.toLowerCase()}');
                                        // => Output: Lower: zakat al-mal

  // String padding
  String code = '42';                   // => Short string

  print('Pad right: $padRight');        // => Output: Pad right: 42---
}

Key Takeaway: Use split/join for list conversion. trim, substring, replaceAll for manipulation. startsWith, endsWith, contains for checking. Regular expressions with RegExp for pattern matching.

Expected Output:

Names: [Ahmad, Fatimah, Ali, Zainab]
Rejoined: Ahmad | Fatimah | Ali | Zainab
Trimmed: "Rp 500,000"
Year: 2025
Dear Ahmad, your Zakat of Rp 2,500,000 is confirmed.
Valid email format: true
+628123456789 valid: true
+6281234 valid: false
Found 3 amounts:
- 500,000
- 1,000,000
- 750,000
Parsed: 2500000
Invalid: null
Upper: ZAKAT AL-MAL
Lower: zakat al-mal
Pad left: 00042
Pad right: 42---

Common Pitfalls: substring end index is exclusive. Regular expression raw strings use r prefix. tryParse returns null on failure (not exception).

Example 20: Type Conversion and Casting

  print('As Set: $uniqueAmounts');      // => Output: As Set: {500000, 1000000, 750000}
  print('Back to List: $backToList');   // => Output: Back to List: [500000, 1000000, 750000]

  // Map value conversions
  Map<String, Object> data = {          // => Map with Object values
    'name': 'Ahmad',
    'amount': 500000,
    'paid': true,
  };

  String donorName = data['name'] as String;

  bool isPaid = data['paid'] as bool;   // => Cast to bool

  print('Donor: $donorName, Amount: $donorAmount, Paid: $isPaid');
                                        // => Output: Donor: Ahmad, Amount: 500000, Paid: true
}

Key Takeaway: Convert numbers with toInt, toDouble, round, truncate. Parse strings with int.parse (throws) or tryParse (null on failure). Type check with is, cast with as. Use whereType to filter collections by type.

Expected Output:

Decimal: 2500000.0
Rounded: 2750501
Truncated: 2750500
Floor: 2750500
Ceil: 2750501
String amount: 500000
String rate: 0.0250
Safe parsed: null
Value is String: Ahmad
Length: 5
Not a String
Casted: 2500000
Strings: [two, four]
Ints: [1]
Runtime type: String
As Set: {500000, 1000000, 750000}
Back to List: [500000, 1000000, 750000]
Donor: Ahmad, Amount: 500000, Paid: true

Common Pitfalls: parse throws on invalid string, use tryParse for safety. as throws if type wrong, check with is first. Type promotions happen automatically in is checks.

Examples 21-25: Advanced Basics

                                        // => lastLarge: 1250000.0

  print('First large: Rp$firstLarge');  // => Output: First large: Rp1000000.0
  print('Last large: Rp$lastLarge');    // => Output: Last large: Rp1250000.0

  // singleWhere - finds single matching element
  try {
    double exact = donations.singleWhere(
      (double amount) => amount == 2500000.0,
    );                                  // => Find single match
                                        // => exact: 2500000.0

  // Method chaining
  double avgLarge = donations

  print('Average large: Rp${avgLarge.toStringAsFixed(2)}');
                                        // => Output: Average large: Rp1583333.33
}

Key Takeaway: Use map to transform, where to filter, reduce/fold to aggregate. any/every check conditions. expand flattens nested collections. skip/take slice collections. Chain methods for complex operations.

Expected Output:

All donations:
- Rp500000.0
- Rp1000000.0
- Rp750000.0
- Rp2500000.0
- Rp1250000.0
Formatted: [Rp 500000.00, Rp 1000000.00, Rp 750000.00, Rp 2500000.00, Rp 1250000.00]
Large donations: [1000000.0, 2500000.0, 1250000.0]
Has large (>= 2M): true
All positive: true
Total (reduce): Rp6000000.0
Total (fold): Rp6000000.0
Flattened: [100000, 200000, 300000, 400000, 500000]
Skip 2: [750000.0, 2500000.0, 1250000.0]
Take 3: [500000.0, 1000000.0, 750000.0]
First large: Rp1000000.0
Last large: Rp1250000.0
Single exact: Rp2500000.0
Average large: Rp1583333.33

Common Pitfalls: map, where return Iterables - call toList() for List. reduce requires non-empty collection. singleWhere throws if multiple matches.

Example 22: DateTime Basics

Working with dates and times for timestamps and scheduling.

void main() {
  // Create DateTime instances
  DateTime now = DateTime.now();        // => Current date and time
                                        // => Includes year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond

  DateTime zakatDue = DateTime(2025, 9, 15);  // => Specific date: Sept 15, 2025
                                               // => Time defaults to midnight

  DateTime ramadanStart = DateTime(2025, 3, 1, 6, 30);
                                        // => Date with time: 6:30 AM
                                        // => Parameters: year, month, day, hour, minute

  print('Now: $now');                   // => Output: 2025-01-29 [current time]
  print('Zakat due: $zakatDue');        // => Output: 2025-09-15 00:00:00.000

  // Access components
  int year = zakatDue.year;             // => year: 2025
  int month = zakatDue.month;           // => month: 9 (September)
  int day = zakatDue.day;               // => day: 15
  int weekday = zakatDue.weekday;       // => weekday: 1-7 (Monday-Sunday)

  print('Year: $year, Month: $month, Day: $day');
                                        // => Output: Year: 2025, Month: 9, Day: 15

  // DateTime arithmetic
  DateTime tomorrow = now.add(Duration(days: 1));
                                        // => Add 1 day to current date
                                        // => tomorrow is 1 day ahead

  DateTime lastWeek = now.subtract(Duration(days: 7));
                                        // => Subtract 7 days
                                        // => lastWeek is 7 days ago

  // Duration between dates
  Duration difference = zakatDue.difference(now);
                                        // => Calculate time difference
                                        // => difference stores days/hours until Zakat due

  int daysUntil = difference.inDays;    // => Convert to days
  int hoursUntil = difference.inHours;  // => Convert to hours

  print('Days until Zakat due: $daysUntil');
                                        // => Output: Days until Zakat due: [calculated]

  // Compare dates
  bool isPast = now.isAfter(zakatDue);  // => Check if now is after zakatDue
                                        // => isPast: false (zakatDue is future)

  bool isFuture = now.isBefore(zakatDue);  // => Check if now is before
                                           // => isFuture: true

  bool isSame = now.isAtSameMomentAs(zakatDue);  // => Exact moment comparison
                                                  // => isSame: false

  print('Is Zakat due in future: $isFuture');
                                        // => Output: Is Zakat due in future: true

  // Parse from string
  String dateStr = '2025-12-25';        // => ISO 8601 format string
  DateTime parsed = DateTime.parse(dateStr);
                                        // => Parse string to DateTime
                                        // => parsed: 2025-12-25 00:00:00.000

  // Format to string
  String formatted = '${zakatDue.year}-${zakatDue.month.toString().padLeft(2, '0')}-${zakatDue.day.toString().padLeft(2, '0')}';
                                        // => Manual formatting
                                        // => formatted: '2025-09-15'

  print('Formatted: $formatted');       // => Output: Formatted: 2025-09-15

  // UTC vs local time
  DateTime utc = DateTime.now().toUtc();  // => Convert to UTC timezone
  DateTime local = utc.toLocal();       // => Convert back to local timezone

  print('UTC: $utc');                   // => Output: [current time in UTC]
  print('Local: $local');               // => Output: [current time in local TZ]
}

Key Takeaway: Create DateTime with DateTime(year, month, day) or DateTime.now(). Use add/subtract with Duration for arithmetic. Compare with isAfter/isBefore. Parse strings with DateTime.parse().

Expected Output (varies by current date):

Now: 2025-01-29 12:34:56.789
Zakat due: 2025-09-15 00:00:00.000
Year: 2025, Month: 9, Day: 15
Days until Zakat due: 229
Is Zakat due in future: true
Formatted: 2025-09-15
UTC: 2025-01-29 04:34:56.789Z
Local: 2025-01-29 12:34:56.789

Common Pitfalls: Months are 1-indexed (January = 1). DateTime is immutable - methods return new instances. Timezone conversions affect displayed time.

Example 23: Classes - Static Members

Static fields and methods belong to the class itself, not instances.

class ZakatCalculator {                 // => Class with static members
  static const double wealthRate = 0.025;  // => Static constant
                                           // => Shared across all instances
                                           // => Accessed via ClassName.field

  static const double nisabThreshold = 85000000.0;
                                        // => Static field for nisab

  static int calculationsPerformed = 0;  // => Static mutable field
                                         // => Tracks global count

  // Instance fields
  String donorName;                     // => Instance-specific field
  double wealth;                        // => Each instance has own wealth

  ZakatCalculator(this.donorName, this.wealth);
                                        // => Constructor

  // Static method
  static double calculateZakat(double wealth) {
                                        // => Static method - no instance needed
    calculationsPerformed++;            // => Increment static counter
    return wealth * wealthRate;         // => Access static constant
  }                                     // => Return calculated value

  // Static factory method
  static ZakatCalculator createForWealth(String name, double wealth) {
                                        // => Factory method creates instance
    if (wealth < 0) {                   // => Validation
      throw ArgumentError('Wealth must be positive');
    }
    return ZakatCalculator(name, wealth);  // => Return new instance
  }

  // Instance method
  double getZakat() {                   // => Instance method
    calculationsPerformed++;            // => Can access static members
    return calculateZakat(wealth);      // => Call static method
  }                                     // => Return result

  bool isEligible() {                   // => Check eligibility
    return wealth >= nisabThreshold;    // => Compare to static threshold
  }
}

void main() {
  // Access static constant
  print('Zakat rate: ${ZakatCalculator.wealthRate * 100}%');
                                        // => Output: Zakat rate: 2.5%
                                        // => No instance needed

  print('Nisab: Rp${ZakatCalculator.nisabThreshold}');
                                        // => Output: Nisab: Rp85000000.0

  // Call static method
  double zakat1 = ZakatCalculator.calculateZakat(100000000.0);
                                        // => Call without instance
                                        // => zakat1: 2500000.0

  print('Calculated Zakat: Rp$zakat1');  // => Output: Calculated Zakat: Rp2500000.0

  // Static counter incremented
  print('Calculations: ${ZakatCalculator.calculationsPerformed}');
                                        // => Output: Calculations: 1

  // Create instance
  ZakatCalculator calc = ZakatCalculator('Ahmad', 150000000.0);
                                        // => Create instance
                                        // => Has own donorName and wealth

  // Call instance method
  double zakat2 = calc.getZakat();      // => Call instance method
                                        // => zakat2: 3750000.0

  print('${calc.donorName} Zakat: Rp$zakat2');
                                        // => Output: Ahmad Zakat: Rp3750000.0

  // Static counter updated again
  print('Calculations: ${ZakatCalculator.calculationsPerformed}');
                                        // => Output: Calculations: 2
                                        // => Static field shared across calls

  // Use factory method
  ZakatCalculator calc2 = ZakatCalculator.createForWealth('Fatimah', 200000000.0);
                                        // => Create via static factory
                                        // => Includes validation

  bool eligible = calc2.isEligible();   // => Check eligibility
                                        // => eligible: true (above nisab)

  print('${calc2.donorName} eligible: $eligible');
                                        // => Output: Fatimah eligible: true

  // Multiple instances share static members
  print('Final count: ${ZakatCalculator.calculationsPerformed}');
                                        // => Output: Final count: 2
                                        // => Static state persists
}

Key Takeaway: Static members accessed via ClassName.member. Static methods can’t access instance fields. Static fields shared across all instances. Use static for utility methods and shared constants.

Expected Output:

Zakat rate: 2.5%
Nisab: Rp85000000.0
Calculated Zakat: Rp2500000.0
Calculations: 1
Ahmad Zakat: Rp3750000.0
Calculations: 2
Fatimah eligible: true
Final count: 2

Common Pitfalls: Static methods can’t access this (no instance). Static fields are class-level, not instance-level. Static factory methods common pattern for validation.

Example 24: Command-Line Input/Output

Reading user input and writing formatted output to console.

import 'dart:io';                       // => Import for stdin/stdout

void main() {
  // Basic output
  print('Zakat Calculator');            // => Print with newline
  stdout.write('Enter donor name: ');   // => Print without newline
                                        // => Prompts user for input

  // Read input (synchronous)
  String? donorName = stdin.readLineSync();
                                        // => Read line from console
                                        // => Returns String? (nullable)
                                        // => Waits for Enter key

  if (donorName == null || donorName.isEmpty) {

    return;                             // => Exit program
  }

  print('Welcome, $donorName!');        // => Output: Welcome, [input]!

  // Read numeric input
  stdout.write('Enter wealth amount: ');  // => Prompt
  String? wealthInput = stdin.readLineSync();
                                        // => Read as string

  double? wealth = double.tryParse(wealthInput ?? '');
                                        // => Parse to double
                                        // => null if invalid

  if (wealth < nisab) {                 // => Check eligibility
    print('Wealth below nisab. No Zakat due.');
    return;
  }

  double zakat = wealth * rate;         // => Calculate

  // Formatted output
  print('\n--- Zakat Calculation ---');  // => \n adds blank line
  print('Donor: $donorName');           // => Output donor name

                                        // => Format with 2 decimals
  print('Zakat (2.5%): Rp ${zakat.toStringAsFixed(2)}');
  print('Remaining: Rp ${(wealth - zakat).toStringAsFixed(2)}');
  print('-' * 30);                      // => Print 30 dashes

  // Write to stderr (error stream)
  if (zakat > 10000000.0) {             // => Large amount
    stderr.writeln('Warning: Large Zakat amount');
                                        // => Write to error stream
                                        // => Separate from stdout
  }

  // Multiple choice input
  stdout.write('Pay now? (y/n): ');     // => Yes/no prompt
  String? choice = stdin.readLineSync()?.toLowerCase();
                                        // => Read and convert to lowercase
                                        // => ?. handles null case

  if (choice == 'y' || choice == 'yes') {  // => Check affirmative
    print('Payment confirmed!');        // => Success message
  } else {
    print('Payment deferred.');         // => Alternative message
  }
}

Key Takeaway: Use stdin.readLineSync() to read console input (returns String?). print() adds newline, stdout.write() doesn’t. Parse input with int.tryParse() or double.tryParse(). stderr for error messages.

Expected Output (example interaction):

Zakat Calculator
Enter donor name: Ahmad
Welcome, Ahmad!
Enter wealth amount: 100000000

--- Zakat Calculation ---
Donor: Ahmad
Wealth: Rp 100000000.00
Zakat (2.5%): Rp 2500000.00
Remaining: Rp 97500000.00
------------------------------
Pay now? (y/n): y
Payment confirmed!

Common Pitfalls: readLineSync() is blocking (waits for input). Always validate and parse user input. Input is always String - convert for numbers.

                                        // => Output: 2
}

Key Takeaway: Use /// for documentation comments (appear in IDE/docs). Single // for implementation comments. Multi-line /* */ for complex explanations. Document public API with parameters, returns, exceptions. Use TODO/FIXME/NOTE markers.

Expected Output:

Wealth Zakat: Rp2500000.0
Agriculture Zakat: Rp5000000.0
Total calculations: 2

Common Pitfalls: Over-commenting obvious code. Missing documentation for public API. Outdated comments after code changes. Use doc comments for public members only.
