Continuation

A continuation is a concept used in programming and mathematics to pause and save the current state of a process so it can be resumed later. Think of it as bookmarking your progress in a book; the continuation captures everything needed to pick up right where you left off. This allows complex tasks to be broken into smaller steps or managed asynchronously, making programs more flexible and efficient. Continuations help handle operations like user interactions, networking, or complex computations without losing track of where the program was, enabling smooth, controlled flow of execution.
