1. What are Coroutines and Why Use Them?

This is a foundational question. You can answer it like this:

“Coroutines are lightweight threads used for asynchronous programming in Kotlin. They are used to write non-blocking code, which improves performance and responsiveness, especially in Android apps. Coroutines help eliminate callback hell and make code easier to read and maintain.”

💡 Pro tip: Mention that coroutines are a key feature in Android development, making network requests and database operations smooth.
