Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Task Continuation

The video tutorial explains the concept of continuation in task-based programming, which allows for creating a chain of tasks where each task consumes the result of the previous one. It covers the implementation of continuation tasks, including syntax design, exception handling, and task scheduling. The tutorial also discusses how to handle task completion and propagate exceptions through the task chain, ensuring that exceptions are caught and managed effectively.

What is the main purpose of the continuation feature in task management?

How does the continuation task differ from previous tasks in terms of arguments?

Explain how exceptions are handled in a chain of tasks.

How does the then function ensure that the continuation task is executed after the previous task?

What is the significance of using a shared pointer in the continuation task?

What challenges arise when a parent task finishes executing before the continuation task is scheduled?

Describe the role of the executor in managing task continuations.
