// This example produces output similar to the following:

// Main thread is waiting for BOTH tasks to complete.
// Performing a task for 4000 milliseconds.
// Performing a task for 9000 milliseconds.
// Both tasks are completed (time waited=00:00:09:011011000)
//
// The main thread is waiting for either task to complete.
// Performing a task for 7000 milliseconds.
// Performing a task for 4000 milliseconds.
// Task 2 finished first (time waited=00:00:04:011925000).
