Kuidas käivitada Kotlinis peatatud funktsioon?

In Kotlin, a suspend function does not start directly; it can only be called from another suspend function or from a coroutine. To start a suspend function, you need to create a coroutine using constructs like launch or async from the kotlinx.coroutines library.

Example of starting a suspend function:

import kotlinx.coroutines.*

suspend fun doWork() {
    delay(1000)
    println("Work completed")
}

fun main() = runBlocking {
    launch {
        doWork()  // start suspend function inside a coroutine
    }
}

Here, runBlocking creates a coroutine in the main thread, and launch starts a new coroutine in which the suspend function doWork is called. Thus, the suspend function runs inside a coroutine.
