await的作用：

1、await是一个标志，告诉编译器生成一个等待器来等待异步方法运行的结果。

2、一个await对应一个等待器awaiter

await 的异步方法的刨析

通过一段代码来了解await，把这编译后，用ILspy 反编译。

namespace MyTask;
  class Program
    {
        public static  void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Task<string> baconTask =  FryBaconAsync(3);
        baconTask.ContinueWith(t =>Console.WriteLine(t.Result));
            Console.Read();
        }
        static async Task<string> FryBaconAsync(int slices)
        {
        HttpClient httpClient=new HttpClient();

        string content = await httpClient.GetStringAsync("https://www.cnblogs.com/cdaniu/p/15681416.html");
        return content; //整数3和Task<int>不存在隐形转化啊，怎么就可以return 3; 如果你也存在这个疑问 请继续往下阅读，接下去详细分析。
        }
}

编译器根据await生成一个等待器awaiter，程序通过return;把控制权还给了调用函数，用这个awaiter 等待异步方法运行的结果。
