How to convert a List to a Map in Kotlin?

Hi everyone! I just started learning Kotlin and came across this task. I have a list of objects (data class), for example, a list of users: ```kotlin data class User(val id: Int, val name: String) val users = listOf( User(1, "Alice"), User(2, "Bob"), User(3, "Charlie") ) ``` I need to convert this list into a Map, where the key is `id` and the value is the `User` object itself (or its name). In Java, I would use loops or the Stream API, but in Kotlin, as I understand, there are more concise ways. I tried writing something like `users.map { it.id to it }`, but this returns a list of pairs, not a Map. Then I found the `toMap()` method, but it doesn't always work as I expect, especially if there are duplicate keys. Please advise how to correctly and concisely convert a List to a Map in Kotlin?
