Could you please tell me why you use while and don’t use runBlocking ?
Hey @yvgen!
I’ve used a while loop instead of runBlocking to imitate computing and as such hold the program. I wanted to avoid runBlocking where possible, because it’s often misused.
In most real-life examples you won’t be using runBlocking, but you might have a blocking call.
Does this make sense? :]
Got it, thank you for the answer.
