When we create a task, we provide a named delegate, anonymous method, or a lambda expression that the task executes.

Here is a code snippet that uses a lambda expression to execute the ExecuteLongRunningTasksmethod using Task.Run:

class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Task t = Task.Run(()=>ExecuteLongRunningTask(5000)); t.Wait(); } public static void ExecuteLongRunningTask(int millis) { Thread.Sleep(millis); Console.WriteLine("Hello ...
