How can you change the value of a field inside a suspend function in Kotlin?

In Kotlin, inside a suspend function, you can modify field values just like in regular functions, provided the field is accessible for writing (var or mutable). The main thing to remember is that a suspend function can be paused and resumed, so when working with shared mutable states, you should consider multithreading and synchronization.

Example of modifying a field inside a suspend function:

class Example {
    var counter = 0

    suspend fun increment() {
        // It's safe to modify the field
        counter += 1
    }
}

If the field belongs to an object accessible from multiple coroutines, it is recommended to use synchronization mechanisms, such as Mutex from kotlinx.coroutines, to avoid data races.
