Introduction
Get introduced to the concepts we will learn in this chapter.
The generator class implemented in the previous chapter helped us to use coroutines for building lazily evaluated sequences. C++ coroutines can also be used for asynchronous programming by having a coroutine represent an asynchronous computation or an asynchronous task. Although asynchronous programming is the most important driver for having coroutines in C++, there is no support for asynchronous tasks based on coroutines in the standard library.
