parallel
Provides a simple implementation of multitasking.
Functions are not actually executed simultaniously, but rather this API will
automatically switch between them whenever they yield (eg whenever they call
coroutine.yield, or functions that call that - eg os.pullEvent - or
functions that call that, etc - basically, anything that causes the function
to "pause").
Each function executed in "parallel" gets its own copy of the event queue,
and so "event consuming" functions (again, mostly anything that causes the
script to pause - eg sleep, rednet.receive, most of the turtle API,
etc) can safely be used in one without affecting the event queue accessed by
the other.

- waitForAny(...)Source
Switches between execution of the functions, until any of them finishes. If any of the functions errors, the message is propagated upwards from the parallel.waitForAny call.
Parameters
- ... function The functions this task will run
- waitForAll(...)Source
Switches between execution of the functions, until all of them are finished. If any of the functions errors, the message is propagated upwards from the parallel.waitForAll call.
Parameters
- ... function The functions this task will run
