CoroutineContext
CoroutineContext is a collection of elements that define a coroutine’s behavior.
- Job — controls the lifecycle of the coroutine.
- Dispatcher — defines the thread/thread-pool the work will be dispatched to.
- CoroutineExceptionHandler — handles uncaught exceptions.
CoroutineName— Adds a name to the coroutine (useful for debugging).
