If i have this method ```fun wait(){ val timeout= TimeHelper.getNow() + timeoutInterval // <-...

# coroutines

If i have this method

fun wait(){
    val timeout= TimeHelper.getNow() + timeoutInterval // <- part of class constructor
    if(processor.getLag() > 0){
        val currentTIme = TimeHelper.getNow() 

        if(currentTime >= timeout){ System.exit(42) }
        Thread.sleep(someTime)
    }
}

And want to use a coroutine runBlocking and delay, would it be something like

fun wait() = runBlocking{
    launch { delayMethod() }
    if(processor.getLag() > 0){
        val currentTIme = TimeHelper.getNow() 

        if(currentTime >= timeout){ System.exit(42) }
    }
}

suspend fun delayMethod(){
  delay(someTime)
}

No, it’s incorrect, launch returns immediately, remove launch it will suspend on someTime

[gildor]

so essentially delay is the same as Thread.sleep but non blocking, but requires suspend block (in your case it’s runBlocking)

[gildor]

but in general, it’s not very clear why have blocking function for this wait()
