Examples

Example
Tells the computer to run receiveand send the same time. Will broadcast what the user enters or prints what it receives over rednet, depending on what happens first.
Code	local function receive () -- Define function1. print(rednet.receive()) end local function send () -- Define function2. rednet.broadcast(read()) end parallel.waitForAny(receive, send) -- Run both functions in parallel until one finishes.
Output	Either it prints what it received via rednet, or it broadcasts the message the user typed.
