So if i used:
Task1% = TIME Task2% = TIME REPEAT WAIT 1 : REM Release the CPU to other processes IF (TIME - Task1%) > 100 THEN Task1% = TIME PRINT "hello" ENDIF UNTIL FALSE
So if i used [code snipped] It would print hello once every second?
Why are you asking when it takes only a moment to try it? One of the advantages of an interpreted language like BBC BASIC is that you get instant results - copy-and-paste the code into the BB4W editor and click 'Run'!
