Could anyone explain simply what the responsiblity of the continuation object which is passed around with suspend functions?

suspend functions are compiled to a normal function which takes a callback. Continuation is that callback.
Effectively under the hood a suspend function is called, does some asynchronous work and then invokes the provided callback (aka Continuation) when its done.
