Know the Fundamentals of Kotlin Coroutines
What is Kotlin?
Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference. Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of Kotlin’s standard library depends on the Java Class Library, but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise.
What is Coroutines?
Coroutines are computer program components that generalize subroutines for non-preemptive multitasking, by allowing execution to be suspended and resumed. Coroutines are well-suited for implementing familiar program components such as cooperative tasks, exceptions, event loops, iterators, infinite lists, and pipes.
The purpose of this blog was to discuss briefly what Kotlin’s coroutines mechanisms are, how they work and how we will use them as an alternative way to asynchronous programming to be used in our day-to-day projects.
kotlinx.coroutines could be a made library for coroutines developed by JetBrains. It contains a variety of high-level coroutine-enabled primitives that this guide covers, together with the launch, async, await, and more.
