Creating a task from another task

Question

I am trying to create a task from another task. I tried few sources but am not getting any better results. I tried the example given on https://www.instructables.com/id/FreeRTOS-With-Arduino-08-Creating-a-Task-From-Othe/. In the serial monitor it only displays "In Setup function Task3 Running, Creating Task2 and Task4". With reference to creating task inside other task in freertos I tried checking the value returned by xTaskCreate and printing the return value but that value doesn't print. Can someone help on this? What is it that I am missing?

I can't help with project specifics, or instructions on other website, but yes it is perfectly fine to create one task from another. That is what the strangely named 'death' tasks demonstrate - one of the oldest (very first) standard demo tasks that shipped with FreeRTOS and runs on all the platforms [we support ourselves].
