i have a question about suspend functions and await (thread)

lets say you have a function
```suspend fun returnVal(){
  anotherClass.checkSomething()
  return "hello"
}```
check something looks like something like this:
```suspend fun checkSomething(){
  if (asyncFunction()){
    throw Exception()
  } else {
    return
  }
}```
and lastly,
```suspend fun asyncFunction(){
   return anotherAsync.await() == false
}```

since there is an await on asyncFunction, its not necessary to explicitly await the checkSomething() function to make sure it will throw when it needs to, before returning "hello", correct?

You cannot explicitly await `checkSomething()` as it is a `Unit` function.
`await()` is a function on `Deferred`.
And yes, as you `await` `anotherAsync`, `asyncFunction` will not complete until it is finished and thus `checkSomething` will not complete earlier either.

i thought i might have to convert to deferred unit or something, haha!
