Any one know how to call api in every 5 second using kotlin coroutine?

[CLOVIS]

while (true) {
  doStuff()
  delay(5000)
}

?

[Milan Vadhel]

fun main(array : Array<String>){
    val job = repeatFun()
    job.start()
}

fun repeatFun(): Job {
    val coroutineScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default)
    return coroutineScope.launch {
        while(isActive) {
            println("Hello")
            delay(5000)
        }
    }
}

I have did something like this but it is not printing anything.

When the main method ends, the program ends.

suspend fun main() {
  // Your code here
  delay(100000)
}

That will work

[CLOVIS]

Also, you don't need to call start.

[Milan Vadhel]

Yes but it is not running

[CLOVIS]

It is running, but when the program ends at the end of main, it gets killed.

[CLOVIS]

suspend fun main() {
  val job = GlobalScope.launch {
    delay(1000)
    println("This will never be printed")
  }
  println("This is printed, then the program dies")
}

suspend fun main() {
  val job = GlobalScope.launch {
    delay(1000)
    println("This is printed after 1 second")
  }.join()
}
