We'll cover the following...

- Writing main() function
- Running the application

Writing `main()` function

Let’s write a main() function to call the getAirportStatus() function with a few different airport codes and print the status of the airports with those codes to the console. In your local setup create a file named AirportApp.kt in the directory src/main/kotlin/com/agiledeveloper/ui and key in the following code:

Press + to interact

package com.agiledeveloper.ui

import kotlinx.coroutines.*
import com.agiledeveloper.airportstatus.*

fun main() = runBlocking {
  getAirportStatus(listOf("SFO", "IAD", "IAH", "ORD", "LAX"))
    .forEach { println(it) }
}
