put!(::Channel, value)

put!(Channel, value)

Appends an item to the channel. Blocks if the channel is full.

Examples

In the Julia programming language, the function put!(::Channel, value)

Appends an item value to the specified Channel. If the channel is full, the function blocks until space becomes available.

1. Put values into a channel:

   julia> ch = Channel(3);
   julia> put!(ch, 10);
   julia> put!(ch, 20);
   julia> put!(ch, 30);

   In this example, we create a channel ch with a capacity of 3. We then put three values (10, 20, and 30) into the channel using put!.

2. Blocking behavior when the channel is full:

   julia> ch = Channel(2);
   julia> put!(ch, "apple");
   julia> put!(ch, "banana");
   julia> put!(ch, "orange");

   Here, we create a channel ch with a capacity of 2. After putting "apple" and "banana" into the channel, the third put! operation blocks until space becomes available in the channel.

Common mistake example:

julia> ch = Channel(1);
julia> put!(ch, "apple");
julia> put!(ch, "banana");
ERROR: TaskFailedException:
BoundsError: attempt to access Tuple{Channel{String}} at index [2]

In this example, the channel has a capacity of 1, so it can only hold one value at a time. When attempting to put "banana" into the channel after it already contains "apple", the operation fails with a BoundsError. To avoid this error, ensure that the channel has sufficient capacity or use non-blocking operations like put! with a timeout or put!! instead.
