[c#] How does Task<int> become an int?

We have this method:

async Task<int> AccessTheWebAsync()
{ 
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

   Task<string> getStringTask = client.GetStringAsync("http://msdn.microsoft.com");

   // You can do work here that doesn't rely on the string from GetStringAsync.
   DoIndependentWork();

   string urlContents = await getStringTask;
   //The thing is that this returns an int to a method that has a return type of Task<int>
   return urlContents.Length;
}

Does an implicit conversion occur between Task<int> and int? If not, then what is happening? How is it implemented to work?

No requires converting the Task to int. Simply Use The Task Result.

int taskResult = AccessTheWebAndDouble().Result;

public async Task<int> AccessTheWebAndDouble()
{
    int task = AccessTheWeb();
    return task;
}

It will return the value if available otherwise it return 0.
