If you are still confused, here is a very simple way of understanding a co-routine. First off, what is a routine? In a lay man's term, a routine is something that we do again and again (for example, your morning routine). Similarly. in programming languages, a routine is a piece of code that we use again and again, e.g., a function. Now, if you look at the general characteristic of a function or routine (note: I am cautiously using these two terms interchangeably), it takes some inputs and hogs the CPU threads for as long as the function needs to output the result. Meaning, functions or routines are blocking calls in you code. However, a co-routine is a special kind of routine that can co-exist (the "co" part of the word co-routine comes from this) with other routines at the same time and we can make this happen in programming languages with the help of asynchronous programming. In Asynchronous programming, when one co-routine is waiting for something to happen (e.g., disk io), the other co-routine will start working and when this co-routine is in a waiting state the other co-routine will be active ultimately reducing the waiting time of our code.
如果你理解了上面的内容，让我们看看如何在Python中创建协程函数。可以像下面那样定义协程函数-
async def my_coroutine_function():
return 123
你可以通过在协同程序-前面添加await来调用上面的协同程序
my_result = await my_coroutine_function()
最后,
当你正在看电视节目，广告一出现，你就拿起手机给朋友发短信——你刚刚做的就是异步编程。当你的电视节目(一个合作程序)处于等待状态时，你继续前进，让你的另一个合作程序(给你的朋友发短信)处于激活状态。
我发现大多数答案都太专业了，尽管这是一个技术问题。我很难理解协同程序的过程。我有点明白，但我不能同时明白。
我发现这个答案非常有用:

引用伊丹·阿耶的话:
To build on your story, I'd put it something like this: You start watching the cartoon, but it's the intro. Instead of watching the intro you switch to the game and enter the online lobby - but it needs 3 players and only you and your sister are in it. Instead of waiting for another player to join you switch to your homework, and answer the first question. The second question has a link to a YouTube video you need to watch. You open it - and it starts loading. Instead of waiting for it to load, you switch back to the cartoon. The intro is over, so you can watch. Now there are commercials - but meanwhile a third player has joined so you switch to the game And so on... The idea is that you don't just switch the tasks really fast to make it look like you are doing everything at once. You utilize the time you are waiting for something to happen(IO) to do other things that do require your direct attention.
一定要检查链接，还有更多我不能引用的东西。
协程和并发在很大程度上是正交的。协程是一种通用的控制结构，流控制在两个不同的例程之间协作传递而不返回。
Python中的'yield'语句就是一个很好的例子。它创建了一个协程。当遇到yield时，将保存函数的当前状态，并将控制返回给调用函数。然后，调用函数可以将执行转移回屈服函数，它的状态将恢复到遇到“屈服”的位置，并继续执行。
在Lua编程中，“协程”部分:
A coroutine is similar to a thread (in the sense of multithreading): it is a line of execution, with its own stack, its own local variables, and its own instruction pointer; but it shares global variables and mostly anything else with other coroutines. The main difference between threads and coroutines is that, conceptually (or literally, in a multiprocessor machine), a program with threads runs several threads in parallel. Coroutines, on the other hand, are collaborative: at any given time, a program with coroutines is running only one of its coroutines, and this running coroutine suspends its execution only when it explicitly requests to be suspended.
所以关键是:协程是“协作的”。即使在多核系统中，也只有一个协程在任何给定时间运行(但多个线程可以并行运行)。协程之间存在不可抢占性，运行中的协程必须显式放弃执行。
关于“并发性”，你可以参考Rob Pike的幻灯片:
并发是独立执行计算的组合。
所以在协程A的执行过程中，它把控制权传递给了协程B。经过一段时间后，协程B又把控制权传递给了协程A。由于协程之间存在依赖关系，它们必须串联运行，所以这两个协程不是并发的。
