:I believe the task was intended to demonstrate coordinated action between two independent processes. Waldorf originally wrote the task; Perhaps he could chime in? --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 13:17, 21 October 2007 (MDT)
:I was looking specifically for concurrent tasks within a single program. Many languages call these concurrent units threads. Ada calls them tasks. There are other approaches and names for such capabilities. What I did ''not'' want was program-to-program communication as is common using fork, spawn, and pipe. Some languages, such as Java, Ada, and ML, have concurrent features built in. Some languages, such as C and C++, use external libraries to achieve similar ends. Some languages have no concurrency capabilities. I would not expect examples from languages with no capabilities. [[User:Waldorf|Waldorf]] 15:08, 21 October 2007 (MDT)
::So you're making a distinction between threads and processes? That's probably the source of confusion. I'll go ahead and clarify. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 19:42, 21 October 2007 (MDT)
