Learn English – What does “You might be better off thinking of something” mean

meaning-in-context

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?

The NOAD reports that the meaning of "be better off" is "be in a better position, especially in financial terms."

The sentence you wrote could be considered equivalent of the following sentence.

It would be better to think of the block and the method as coroutines, which transfer control back and forth between themselves.
