Channels in Kotlin Coroutines: Complete
Q1. What is Channel?
A Channel in Kotlin Coroutines is like a pipe or messaging queue that allows one coroutine to send data and another coroutine to receive it.
Think of it like:
- One coroutine is putting messages in a box
- Another coroutine is picking messages from that box
It is similar to SharedFlow, but:
Channels are for one-time, one-consumer events 🔥
After a message is consumed, it’s gone.
Q2. Difference Between send and trySend()?
send()
- Suspends the coroutine if the channel is full.
- Waits until there’s space.
