Hi! In this episode you’ll learn about the coroutine builders: launch, async and runBlocking.

coroutineScope.launch { doHeavyCalculation() }
val result = coroutineScope.launch { doHeavyCalculation() }
Log.d("BuildersScreen", "Result: $result")
val result = coroutineScope.async { doHeavyCalculation() }
Log.d("BuildersScreen", "Result: $result")
runBlocking {
  val result = doHeavyCalculation()
  Log.d("BuildersScreen", "Result: $result")
}
