The Future Interface

A Future represents a result, of an asynchronous


computation.
It's a generic type, a placeholder for a result instance.
It has methods that cancel the task, retrieve the result,
or check if the computation was completed or
cancelled.
The get method returns the result, but you can only
call this get method, when the computation is
complete, otherwise the call will block, until it does
complete.
The overloaded version of the get method allows you
to specify a wait time, rather than blocking.
