This is a very simple example. We will run two separates tasks: the first will print the “first” string, while the second will print the “second”. Since the two tasks are running at the same time on the processor, the two strings are printed alternatively.
PARALLEL PROCEDURE printFirst DO PRINT "first" LOOP END PROC PARALLEL PROCEDURE printSecond DO PRINT "second" LOOP END PROC SPAWN printFirst SPAWN printSecond CLS
