Welcome to the Kotlin Flow Quiz! This quiz is designed to test your understanding of Kotlin Flow, a powerful tool for managing asynchronous data streams in Android development. As you go through the questions, you’ll encounter key concepts such as how Flows work, the differences between cold and hot flows, and the practical applications of Flow operators like map(), collect(), buffer(), and more. This quiz also covers advanced topics like StateFlow and SharedFlow, providing a comprehensive review of how to use these types effectively within Jetpack Compose.
