You are right.
But you can't 'extrapolate' code from a class during a refactor.

@jaerie Ok let me offer an definition and see if you agree. The confusion comes from the common concept of a task, so I'll start there. Parallel is doing multiple tasks at the same time. Asynchronous is doing a task and not waiting for it to compete (either fire-and-forget, or with a callback).

Parallel and Asynchronous are not mutually exclusive.

@mrsulfat Nope. I'm looking at a method that does stuff in parallel (synchronously) that has the word async in the name.

Works on my machine.

Pretty sure devRant did this...

Surely the question is meant to test your approach to a development problem, not your commercial evaluation of the imaginary product.
