-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 How do I make a prgram on my TI 83 plus. I've tried lots of stuff, I even tried reading that book that came with it! Just small programs.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I make really big programs with BASIC. I make games and all that. What you need to do is read chapter 16. It doesn't tell all, but just inferring makes it clear. That and all the people at my school that program. Just ask about something and I can help, I made a whole load of programs. Even one that works between two calculators, just plug them together!
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 How could I make a program that I can plug in the numbers and solve a quadratic equation. I look over chap 16 too.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Ok, make a new program named whatever you want. Next, hit prgrm and arrow right to input, and hit enter. In quotations, have whatever you want it to say (like "Variable X") then a comma, then A. Another input with B, and however many you need. Then do Disp (the equation you need using the variables, but not in quotes) There! Program done!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I can print out the code for you too, I just don't know the quadriatic equation. Give it and the input thingies you want, and I'll write it out for you.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 So you want the code with that equation, with 4 vars (including answer)? Here goes... Input "A",A Input "B",B Input "C",C Clrhome (-B (+-? what's that?) (square root sign) (B^2-4AC))/2A(little arrow, press STO) X Disp X That's it! I just don't know that +- simbol. I doubt its on a ti-83
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 I think you plus or minus becauce it's a square root?
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 Yeah, you come up with ywo answers because you plus for one and minus for another.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 Okay, I did it, no mater what I put in it says the answer is zero??
-Demosthenes- Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 Okay i'll have fun with what I got, I'm excited, I think I'll figure it out easy now
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Don't get too excited, you might pee your pants.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 I got the equating to work! Oh crap! I will be right back, I have to change my pants.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I warned you! Maybe you should buy some Depends.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 I'm cool now. As opposed to, you know, wet.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 It wasn't as bad as I first thought.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I think this thread is DONE! Kaput! It should be locked up, you already did the quadriatic thingy, unless you want more help.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 What does ctrhome really mean? What are it's applications?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 clrhome deletes all that nasty previous text from the screen, so if you were doing something before and didn't hit clear, clrhome clears home.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 So if I took it out of my program it would still work, only the things I typed in earlier would be above it when I run the program? I've used Input, but what's output?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Or below it, yes. Output lets you choose where to put the text. The screen is 8 down by 16 across, so if you do Output(3,8,"Hi!) the Hi! part is at the center. Just type the lines down, then comma, then across, comma, your text (or, a variable or equation NOT in quotes)
