Learning Concurrency in Kotlin

I/O-bound

I/O-bound, on the other hand, are algorithms that rely on input/output devices, so their execution times depend on the speed of those devices, for example, an algorithm that reads a file and passes each word in the document to filterPalindromes() in order to print the palindromes in the document. Changing a few lines of the previous example will do:

fun main(args: Array<String>) {    val words = readWordsFromJson("resources/words.json")        filterPalindromes(words).forEach {        println(it)    }}

The readWordsFromJson() function will read the file from the filesystem. This is an I/O operation that will depend on the speed at which the file can be read. If the file is stored in a hard drive, the performance of the application will be worse than ...
