Await new Task<T>( ... ) : Task does not run in C#?

Await new Task<T>( ... ) : Task does not run in C#?

The Task constructor that takes an Action or Func<T> delegate is meant for creating a Task that represents an asynchronous operation. However, it does not start the operation. Instead, you need to create a Task object using the constructor and then pass it to a Task.Run or Task.Factory.StartNew method to start the operation on a new thread.

Here's an example of how you can use Task.Run to start a Task created using the Task constructor:

public async Task<int> ComputeAsync(int x, int y) { return await Task.Run(() => { // Perform long-running computation. Thread.Sleep(5000); return x + y; }); }

In this example, the ComputeAsync method takes two integers x and y as input and returns their sum as an int. Inside the method, a Task<int> object is created using the Task constructor and passed to the Task.Run method, which starts the operation on a new thread. The operation in this case is a long-running computation that sleeps for 5 seconds and returns the sum of x and y. The await keyword is used to wait for the result of the operation.

Here's an example of how you can call the ComputeAsync method:

int result = await ComputeAsync(10, 20);

In this example, the ComputeAsync method is called with the arguments 10 and 20, and the result is stored in the result variable after the operation completes.
