One of the things about the ev3 is that it can run more than one program at the same time. For example, a program that drives forward a number of rotations, waits, turns and drives forward again is a simple sequence to program. By placing that into a loop, you can drive your robot continuously in a square. But, what if you wanted to play a song at the same time that this was going on? You cant really do that in a single line of programing. This is where parallel tasks (sometimes called multitasking or threading) need to be used.
