More on tasks

Now, let's learn some more important concepts about tasks that might come in handy. Up until now, we have created tasks that are independent. To create more complex solutions, however, we sometimes need to define relationships between tasks. We can create subtasks, child tasks, as well as continuation tasks to do this. Let's try to understand each of these with examples. Later in this section, we will learn about thread storage and queues.
