Could you please tell me why you use while
and donโt use runBlocking
?
Hey @yvgen!
Iโve used a while
loop instead of runBlocking
to imitate computing and as such hold the program. I wanted to avoid runBlocking
where possible, because itโs often misused.
In most real-life examples you wonโt be using runBlocking
, but you might have a blocking call.
Does this make sense? :]
Got it, thank you for the answer.
