I read the wiki on Coroutines, and I didn't quite understand what it meant, can someone tell me what Coroutines are useful for?

To my understanding, coroutines are basically functions, but they can be paused, resumed, stopped, etc. from outside the function. Don't mind me posting nonstop, trying to clear some annoying threads out of my MyForums.

Your understanding is wrong, coroutines are not functions and can only be paused from inside itself, and they can't be "stopped" until it dies.
