What are some examples of coroutines in Python?

Coroutines are special functions that can pause and resume their execution. A common example is using async def.

Can you show me a simple coroutine example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import asyncio

async def my_coroutine():
    print('Start')
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    print('End')

asyncio.run(my_coroutine())

What does await do in this context?

await pauses the coroutine until the awaited task is complete, allowing other tasks to run in the meantime.

Are there any real-world applications of coroutines?

Yes, coroutines are widely used in web servers, network applications, and for handling asynchronous I/O operations.
