Any difference between “await Task.Run(); return;” and “return Task.Run()”?

Question

Is there any conceptual difference between the following two pieces of code:

async Task TestAsync() 
{
    await Task.Run(() => DoSomeWork());
}
         


        

Answer 1

What is the difference between

async Task TestAsync() 
{
    await Task.Delay(1000);
}

and

Task TestAsync() 
{
    return Task.Delay(1000);
}

?

I am confused by this question. Let me try to clarify by responding to your question with another question. What's the difference between?

Func MakeFunction()
{
    Func f = ()=>1;
    return ()=>f();
}

and

Func MakeFunction()
{
    return ()=>1;
}

?

Whatever the difference between my two things is, the same difference is between your two things.
