why my cards.toMutableList() is unsolved reference

class Deck{

val cards = Array(52, { Card(it % 13, getSuit(it)) })

var cardsInDeck = MutableList<Card> = cards.toMutableList() --> error here


fun drawCard(): Card =

private fun getSuit(i: Int) = when(i / 13) {
        0 -> "Clubs"
        1 -> "Diamonds"
        2 -> "Hearts"
        else -> "Spades"
    }

}

This is a bit late, but the line

var cardsInDeck = MutableList<Card> = cards.toMutableList()

should actually be

var cardsInDeck: MutableList<Card> = cards.toMutableList()

The first equals should be a colon. You are specifying that cardsInDeck is of type MutableList<Card>.
