Await new task

You're looking to create a new task and wait for it to complete!

In many programming languages, you can use the async/await syntax to create a new task and wait for it to finish. Here's a general outline of how you can do this:

Step 1: Create a new task

You can create a new task using the Task.Run method in C# or the async keyword in JavaScript. For example:

Task task = Task.Run(() => {
    // Code to run in the new task
});

async function myTask() {
    // Code to run in the new task
}

Step 2: Wait for the task to complete

To wait for the task to complete, you can use the await keyword in C# or the then method in JavaScript. For example:

await task;

myTask().then(() => {
    // Code to run after the task completes
});

Example in C#

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        Task task = Task.Run(() =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Starting new task...");
            // Simulate some work
            await Task.Delay(2000);
            Console.WriteLine("Task completed!");
        });

        Console.WriteLine("Main thread waiting for task to complete...");
        await task;
        Console.WriteLine("Task completed!");
    }
}

Example in JavaScript

async function myTask() {
    console.log("Starting new task...");
    // Simulate some work
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
    console.log("Task completed!");
}

myTask().then(() => {
    console.log("Task completed!");
});

In both examples, the await keyword or the then method is used to wait for the task to complete before continuing with the rest of the code.

Remember to always handle any exceptions that may occur in the task using try-catch blocks or error handling mechanisms specific to your programming language.
