AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Laravel's scheduler lets you fluently define command schedules within the application itself, defined in routes/console.php (Laravel 11+) using Schedule::command() or Schedule::call(). A single cron entry (* * * * * php artisan schedule:run) triggers Laravel to evaluate which scheduled tasks are due. Methods like ->daily(), ->hourly(), and ->cron() control frequency.
