hey guys, I am really having a hard time understand the BroadcastArrayChannel
could someone try to explain it to me, especialy in which scenario this channel can be used?

[Dominaezzz]

You shouldn't use that class directly.

[Dominaezzz]

You should use the BroadcastChannel abstraction.

[Dominaezzz]

but fwiw BroadcastArrayChannel is a fixed-sized buffered BroadcastChannel.

[mingkangpan]

yeah I know that I shouldnt use it directly
I try to understand
what is a Broadcastchannel with 1 capacity?
what is the different if a broadcast channel has n capcities?

[Dominaezzz]

A broadcast channel with n capacity will hold up to n items before suspending the sender.

[mingkangpan]

but n items for each receiver or n items for n receiver?

[Dominaezzz]

All receivers share the buffer.
