  1. Create a class named Task that extends the RecursiveAction class:
        public class Task extends RecursiveAction{
  1. Declare a private int array attribute named array to store the array of elements you want to increment:
        private final int array[];
  1. Declare two private int attributes named start and end to store the start and end positions of the block of elements this task has to process:
        private final int start;         private final int end;
  1. Implement the constructor of the class to initialize its attributes:
        public Task (int array[], int start, int end) {           this.array=array;           this.start=start;           this.end=end;         }
  1. Implement the compute() method with the main logic of the task. If ...
