What The Future Holds For Our Church Website Outreach - FaithSite Designs
If the future is the result of a call to std::async that used lazy evaluation, this function returns immediately without waiting. This function may block for longer than timeout_duration due to scheduling or resource contention delays. The standard recommends that a steady clock is used to measure the duration.
Understanding the Context
A future represents the result of an asynchronous operation, and can have two states: uncompleted or completed. Most likely, as you aren't doing this just for fun, you actually need the results of that Future<T> to progress in your application. You need to display the number from the database or the list of movies found.
