Explain Structured Concurrency in Kotlin Coroutines
Tests your grasp of coroutine lifecycle management. A great answer defines the parent-child relationship within a CoroutineScope, explains cancellation propagation, and details how exceptions cancel the entire hierarchy.
This question tests your deep understanding of coroutine lifecycle and error handling, not just syntax. A strong answer defines structured concurrency via the CoroutineScope parent-child hierarchy, then explains how cancelling a parent cancels all children. It also details how an exception in one child (using launch) propagates up, cancelling the parent and all siblings. A common red flag is failing to explain this automatic cancellation behavior or the role of SupervisorJob.
