What are the differences between supervisorScope and coroutineScope in the context of coroutines?

coroutineScope and supervisorScope are constructs in Kotlin for managing the lifecycle of coroutines and error handling.

• coroutineScope creates a new coroutine scope in which all child coroutines must complete before continuing. If one child coroutine fails, all others will also be canceled.

• supervisorScope is similar to coroutineScope, but errors in child coroutines do not cancel other child coroutines. That is, if one coroutine fails, the others continue to run.

Example:

coroutineScope {
    launch { /* if it fails, it cancels all */ }
    launch { /* also cancels if another fails */ }
}

supervisorScope {
    launch { /* if it fails, others continue */ }
    launch { /* continues working despite errors in others */ }
}

Thus, supervisorScope is useful when you need to isolate errors of child coroutines, and coroutineScope when you want to cancel all upon any error.
