Parallelize operations by using Invoke in the Task Parallel Library. Three operations are performed on a shared data source. The operations can be executed in parallel in a straightforward manner, because none of them modifies the source.

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net;

GetCountForWord(words, "sleep");
} //close third Action
); //close parallel.invoke
Console.WriteLine("Returned from Parallel.Invoke");
