task vs thread in c#

Comment

A task in .NET can be thought of as a to-do item that needs to be completed, 
while a thread is a worker that can carry out the task.
/* For example, imagine that you are running a small business and you have a 
list of tasks that need to be completed, such as answering customer emails, 
processing orders, and updating inventory. Each of these tasks can be 
represented by a Task object in .NET. 

To complete the tasks, you can hire workers (i.e. create Thread objects) to 
carry out the work. The workers can pick up tasks from the list as they become 
available, and they can execute the tasks concurrently to maximize efficiency.

Once a task is completed, the worker can mark it as done (i.e. set the Task 
object's IsCompleted property to true) and move on to the next task. The Task 
objects can be used to track the status of each task and to manage the 
execution of the tasks.*/
In this analogy, the Task objects represent the to-do items that need to be 
completed, and the Thread objects represent the workers that carry out the 
tasks. The TaskScheduler and CancellationToken objects can be thought of as 
the tools and resources that the workers use to complete the tasks efficiently 
and safely.
