why this code is making unity unresposnive?

Question

 using System.Threading.Tasks;
 using UnityEngine;
 public class sampleclass : MonoBehaviour
 {
     bool istrue = true;
     void Start()
     {
          Invoke("hello_false", 5);
         Task<string> result = call();
       



         Debug.Log("is code working" + result.Result);
 
     }
 
     void hello_false()
     {
         istrue = false;
     }
     void hello()
     {
         w$$anonymous$$le (istrue)
         {
             int justcount = 0;
             justcount++;
         }
 
 
     }
     async Task<string> call()
     {
         Task newtask = new Task(hello);
         newtask.Start();
 
         await newtask;
 
         return "task done ";
     }
 
 
 
 }
 
 
 when I don't use return statement code runs perfectly but when i add return statement it hangs/become unresponsive.

It seems to loop

 void hello()

over and over due to

 w$$anonymous$$le(istrue)

And not$$anonymous$$ng really tells it to stop the loop.

Your answer is not true.

      void hello_false()
      {
          istrue = false;
      }

Does exactly that.

He is right though. istrue gets set to false every 5 seconds. BUT unity is calling the while(istrue) every frame and it calls it infinite amount of time in one frame during a second, so it just loops over and over and never allows istrue to get set to false.

it has noting to do with while loop.I have tried this result but still unity editor become unresponsive.i think its due to return statement but i don't have any reason for it.

 using System.Threading.Tasks;
 using UnityEngine;
 public class sampleclass : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
     void Start()
     {
 
 
         Task<string> result = call();
         Debug.Log("is code working" + result.Result);
 
     }
 
 
 
 
     void hello()
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
         {
             int timewaste = 0;
             timewaste++;
         }
 
 
     }
     async Task<string> call()
     {
         Task newtask = new Task(hello);
         newtask.Start();
 
         await newtask;
 
         return "task done ";
     }
 
 
 
 }

It might be better to stick with coroutines and use an Action callback:

 private bool isTrue = true;
 
 private void Start () {
     // When 'Call()' completes it will log the result
     StartCoroutine (Call (result => Debug.Log (result)))
     // Kick off the kill condition
     StartCoroutine (SetFalse ());
 }
 
 private IEnumerator Call (Action<string> callback) {
     // When 'Hello()' completes, it returns the string "Task Complete 682" to the initial lambda
     yield return Hello (finalCount => callback ("Task Complete " + finalCount));
 }

 private IEnumerator Hello (Action<int> callback) {
     int count = 0;
     w$$anonymous$$le (isTrue) {
         count++;
         yield return null;
     }
     //  Returns the count to the above lambda
     callback (count);
 }

 // Just a delayed operation
 private IEnumerator SetFalse () {
     yield return WaitForSeconds (5f);
     isTrue = false;
 }

I don't want to use coroutine as they return values.I know i can use callbacks but I would rather prefer async and await.also I wanted the reason for this behavior.thanks for help

Your problem shoud be on start function, you also need to use async for Start() and await for call(), not sure what are you trying to ac$$anonymous$$ve but here is the correct code :

 bool istrue = true;
 async void Start()
 {
     Invoke("hello_false", 5);
     var finalResult = await call();

     Debug.Log("is code working " + finalResult);

 }

 void hello_false()
 {
     istrue = false;
 }

 void hello()
 {
     w$$anonymous$$le (istrue)
     {
         int justcount = 0;
         justcount++;
     }
 }

 async Task<string> call()
 {
     Task newtask = new Task(hello);
     newtask.Start();

     await newtask;

     return "task done ";
 }
