✅B - “Gotcha. Thanks for the heads-up!”
❌B - “Of course. Thanks for the heads-up!”
A - “Is it okay if I borrow your textbook?”
✅B - “Of course! Just bring it back when you’re finished.”
❌ B - “Gotcha! Just bring it back when you’re finished.”

"Gotcha" is more often used to mean "I understand." :)
👩 How do you spell your name?
👨 Viktor.
👩 Okay. V-I-C-T-O-R.
👨 No, it's Viktor with a "K."
👩 Ahh, gotcha. V-I-K-T-O-R.
It can be used to mean "of course," but it's weaker and isn't usually (as sometimes it doesn't make sense).
