Getting the status of a coroutine

To get the current status of a coroutine, we can use the function coroutine.status. The function can return one of the following values:

running	Coroutine is executing
dead	Coroutine has finished running
suspended	Coroutine is waiting to be executed

For example:

   local nt=coroutine.create(function()    print(string.format("I’m aliveee! The status of the coroutine       is:%s", coroutine.status(coroutine.running())))   end)   coroutine.resume(nt)   print("Now I'm "..coroutine.status(nt))

The output will be:

   I’m aliveee! The status of the coroutine is:running   Now I'm dead
