Sort of.

In Kotlin, you can't have val arrayOfString : Array<String> = Array(5), because the values filling the array would be null, and null isn't a valid value of String.

You can have val arrayOfString: Array<String?> = arrayOfNulls(5), or you can have val arrayOfString : Array<String> = Array(5) { "defaultString" }.
