:::Random is what I wanted. The Ada example I provided creates three separate tasks. Each one calculates a random number between 0.0 and 1.0. The task then delays the number of seconds corresponding to that random number. A delay of 0.5 lasts 0.5 seconds. There are two goals to "Simple concurrent actions". Those goals are to demonstrate the syntax for defining concurrent behavior within a single program, and the syntax for creating a random sleep or delay. --[[User:Waldorf|Waldorf]] 17:59, 7 February 2007 (MST)
::::I see. You might want to explain that in the task; I thought the task's purpose was simply to demonstrate forking. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 20:33, 7 February 2007 (EST)
:::::What do you need to be clarified? I specified threads, tasks or co-routines. It can be argued that forking is a form of concurrency, which is why I specified threads, etc. Please let me know how you would like the task description to be clearer. There is currently a separate task to demonstrate forking. I have plans to explore more aspects of concurrency with tasks demonstrating synchronous and asynchonous communicatincommunication between threads, etc. --[[User:Waldorf|Waldorf]] 19:27, 7 February, 2007 (MST)
