[Q] How are we supposed to use threads in our robot code?

[pipsqueaker]

Are you saying that I have to use boost and WPILib's task class? I looked on WPILib's task documentation page , and it doesn't look like I need to. Just looking for clarification.

Also, on the above page, it says the task::run takes the arguments of types FUNCPTR and int. just asking, the fcptr is just the function name without any arguments or parentheses, correct? Also the arguments are of type int, does that mean I can only pass integers?

Sorry for bombarding you with questions but, like I said, I'm new to this and have no coders on the team experienced enough with c++ to help us.
