-The following example uses a Boolean flag to coordinate cancellation in a `parallel_for` loop. Every task runs because this example does not use the `cancel` method or exception handling to cancel the overall set of tasks. Therefore, this technique can have more computational overhead than a cancelation mechanism.

 Although we recommend that you use `task_group` or `parallel_invoke` instead of the `structured_task_group` class, there are cases where you want to use `structured_task_group`, for example, when you write a parallel algorithm that performs a variable number of tasks or requires support for cancellation. This section explains the differences between the `task_group` and `structured_task_group` classes.
 
-The `task_group` class is thread-safe. Therefore you can add tasks to a `task_group` object from multiple threads and wait on or cancel a `task_group` object from multiple threads. The construction and destruction of a `structured_task_group` object must occur in the same lexical scope. In addition, all operations on a `structured_task_group` object must occur on the same thread. The exception to this rule is the [concurrency::structured_task_group::cancel](reference/structured-task-group-class.md#cancel) and [concurrency::structured_task_group::is_canceling](reference/structured-task-group-class.md#is_canceling) methods. A child task can call these methods to cancel the parent task group or check for cancelation at any time.

 You can run additional tasks on a `task_group` object after you call the [concurrency::task_group::wait](reference/task-group-class.md#wait) or [concurrency::task_group::run_and_wait](reference/task-group-class.md#run_and_wait) method. Conversely, if you run additional tasks on a `structured_task_group` object after you call the [concurrency::structured_task_group::wait](reference/structured-task-group-class.md#wait) or [concurrency::structured_task_group::run_and_wait](reference/structured-task-group-class.md#run_and_wait) methods, then the behavior is undefined.
