What does "You might be better off thinking of something" mean?

Question

I found this sentence in my programming book:> You might be better off thinking of the block and the method as> coroutines, which transfer control back and forth between themselves.What does *be better off* mean?

Answer 1

"you might be better off" is an expression that can mean: one method will not give you a good result; therefore you should try another. In other words:

'B' might work, but you might want to try 'A.'

or with the idiom:

'B' might work, but you would be better off trying 'A.'
