:@schedule

@schedule

Wrap an expression in a Task and add it to the local machine's scheduler queue.

Examples

1. Schedule a task for execution:

   julia> @schedule begin
            println("This is a scheduled task")
          end

   This example schedules a task to run the given expression, which prints "This is a scheduled task". The task will be added to the local machine's scheduler queue.

2. Schedule a task with arguments:

   julia> @schedule begin
            function add(a, b)
              println(a + b)
            end
            add(3, 5)
          end

   In this example, a task is scheduled to execute the add function with arguments 3 and 5. The result, 8, will be printed.

3. Schedule multiple tasks:

   julia> @schedule begin
            println("Task 1")
          end
   
   julia> @schedule begin
            println("Task 2")
          end

   Here, two tasks are scheduled to run in parallel. The first task will print "Task 1" and the second task will print "Task 2".

Common mistake example:

julia> @schedule
ERROR: syntax: "schedule" expression not properly terminated

This example demonstrates a common mistake where the @schedule macro is used without providing an expression to execute. It's important to always provide a valid expression enclosed within begin and end when using @schedule.
