The `withContext()` function in Kotlin coroutines is used to switch the coroutine’s context to a different dispatcher while suspending the current coroutine. It allows you to execute a block of code in a different coroutine context without blocking the thread.
Context switching is useful when you want to perform operations that require a specific coroutine context, such as switching to a background thread for performing I/O operations.
