Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - What Is a Coroutine?

The video explains coroutines, which are functions that can be paused and resumed, allowing for more efficient concurrency without relying heavily on threads. It discusses the limitations of thread-based concurrency, such as blocking and inefficiency, and introduces coroutines as a solution. Coroutines allow for background operations and better task management, improving program flow and reducing complexity. The video also hints at further exploration of coroutine mechanisms in subsequent content.

In what ways can the flow of execution in a program be altered using coroutines?

Describe a scenario where using coroutines would be beneficial compared to traditional threading.

What challenges might arise when implementing coroutines?
