What methods can be used to initiate coroutine execution in your technology stack?

In Android, the following methods are usually used to run coroutines:

• launch — starts a new coroutine without waiting for the result, often used for background tasks.
• async — starts a coroutine and returns a Deferred, which can be used to get the result later.
• runBlocking — blocks the current thread until the coroutine completes, used rarely, mainly in tests or main functions.

Example of starting a coroutine in ViewModel:

viewModelScope.launch {
    val data = repository.loadData()
    // update UI
}

Here, viewModelScope automatically cancels the coroutine when the ViewModel is destroyed.
