                example will make it clear:

                    void add (int a, int b, int& result) { result = a + b; }

                    // Also suppose you have a thread_pool named tp defined somewhere.
                    // Then you could do the following.
                    future<int> a, b, result;
                    a = 3;
                    b = 4;
                    // this function call causes another thread to execute a call to the add() function
                    // and passes in the int objects contained in a, b, and result
                    tp.add_task(add,a,b,result);
                    // This line will wait for the task in the thread pool to finish and then print the
                    // value in the result integer.  So it will print a 7.
