Need help with creating condition based task continuations RRS feed

  • Question

  • I need to schedule two tasks based on a condition as given below:

    bool check();

    task<int> Function_1();

    task<int> Function_2();

    Main()

    {

    if(check)

    {

    Function_1()

    .then([](){

    //Do some work here

    return Function_2();

    })

    .then([](task<int> status){

    //Do some work here

    });

    }

    else

    {

    Function_2()

    .then([](task<int> status)

    {

    // Do some work here

    });

    }

    }

    What is the best way to write such code without any redundancy? Is there a way to attach a continuation with a task that executes based on a condition.? 

    I know that this can be possible if the first task is cancelled,  but we dont need to cancel that task.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Hello Parul Gupta,

    You could do something like this:

    auto cont1 = [](task<int> status) { // do some work return Function_2(); }; auto cont2 = [](task<int> status) { // do some work }; if (check()) { Function_1().then(cont1).then(cont2); } else { Function_2().then(cont2); }

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers
