Wait for completion before executing next step

I have a few processes that need to be completed in order when my TableView loads. I would expect that it would wait until the code completed before executing the next line of code, but it seems that's not the case. Is there a way to have these wait until completion before executing the next step?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

performTask1()

performTask2()

performTask3()
}

Thanks for all the help!

The typical example to make each of these methods take a completionHandler parameter, e.g.:

func perform1(completionHandler: () -> Void) {
    doSomethingAsynchronously() {
        completionHandler()
    }
}

func perform2(completionHandler: () -> Void) {
    doSomethingElseAsynchronously() {
        completionHandler()
    }
}

func perform3(completionHandler: () -> Void) {
    doSomethingCompletelyDifferentAsynchronously() {
        completionHandler()
    }
}

Then you can run them like so:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    perform1 {
        self.perform2 {
            self.perform3 {

            }
        }
    }
}
