"Parallelized" if statements

[howardivanbaltazar 2]

if x<5
then
   x = x+1
else
  x = 0

end
 if y<5
 then
 y = y+1
 else
 y = 0
 end

in this commands how can i make them work in parallel or in the same time?

If you could post all the code or explain what you're trying to do a bit more that would help me help you.

Lua is single threaded so there isn't any real parallelization, so I'm having a hard time understanding what you need.

like molinko said, we dont have parallel execution, but we do have concurrency. https://ocdoc.cil.li/api:thread

I would like to execute both if statements in the same time so that it can light up both redstone lamp at the same time

It's not possible. You can set them one after the other, sequentially, fast enough that you won't notice. Effectively at the same time.. but parallelization is not possible

What you can do is perform all the calculations and then after computing the desired redstone states, you can then update all the states
 

local states = {}

-- Compute all your conditions and store the resulting state for future use
if states.x < 5 then states.x = states.x + 1 else states.x = 0 end
if states.y < 5 then states.y = states.y + 1 else states.y = 0 end

 

Then you would just use something like 

component.redstone.setOutput(states)

 

and this would then push your state to a redstone card. 
Please note that the above code will not work as setOutput expects a numerical index rather than "x" or "y". If your using bundled you would need to adjust it as required.
Though I dont understand how this is an issue for you as you can call 20 component functions per game tick (or so i think, based of an answer I recieved when asking if you could use multiple GPUs to speed up rendering to a single screen)
