How can I use tasks in C# for asynchronous programming?

In C#, you can use the Task class to run asynchronous operations. You can create a task using Task.Run() or Task.Factory.StartNew(). Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example of using Task.Run.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

Task.Run(() => {
    // Simulate a long-running task
    Thread.Sleep(2000);
    Console.WriteLine("Task completed!");
});

This will run the task asynchronously and print the message after 2 seconds.

How do I handle exceptions in tasks?

You can handle exceptions in tasks using a try-catch block within the task. Additionally, you can check the Task.Status property after the task completes to see if it faulted.
