TI-Basic

[trust]

Yeah so I learned this like in 7th grade. Bow down hoes.

I got out of geometry with an A-.

Trust me, algebra 2 is much better.

Still, both suck, and video games help to pass the time!

Also, who cares if you don't have a calculator yet? Learn the languages!

On a side note, isn't TI-Basic an interpreted language, technically? Since it's never really compiled until you run it...

I dunno, I was just thinking about that in an attempt to distract myself from this boring essay.

Go with TI-83+ or TI-84+ man.

I'm getting a TI-86, thanks. ;)

No man, go with the Sexy TI-94.

But in all seriousness, the 89 is pretty awesome.

[deadly7]

I'm not rich. the 86 is my brother's, he's buying himself a new 89.

I thought about getting an 84, since we CAN use it even though my courses ask for an 83. But then I found out that next year in AP Calc I'm going to (or so I heard) need an 89. Oh well.

TI-Basic is pretty straight forward. If you understand BASIC and the basic (no pun intended) operations of the calculator (the catalog, I mean) then it should be a piece of cake.

On a side note with the discussion on calculators, The TI-89 Titanium kicks ass. I really want to get one, having a TI-83+ Silver myself. Well, I'll get it when I go to college or something. It'll be a worthwile upgrade.

[deadly7]

Anyone know of any straightforward websites that teach you TI-Basic for a TI-86, and also have the software needed (Compiler if any..)

[karwind]

86? I'm not sure abou 86. You might want to look at http://ticalc.org Look through some of their archives and go to source codes. After transferring them to your calculator, you can view the source codes. I'm not sure about computer though. You're going to need TI Software to do that. It comes with a programmer (:

Umm... guys... Joe is 100% right!

TI-Basic is no where close to basic!

For example:

Code Select Expand


:ClrHome
:Disp "HELLO WORLD"


No dot notation, no objects, no classes.

Code Select Expand


:Clrhome
:0->A
:For X,1,20
:A+X->A
:End
:Disp A


No dot notation, no objects, no classes.

Code Select Expand


:ClrHome
:Lbl 1
:getKey A
:While A=0
:getKey A
:End
:ClrHome
:Disp A
:Goto 1


No dot notation, no objects, no classes, whiles not ended with a wend.

Of course, there are more defining attributes then that to basic, but those are some. The only thing basic-ish I can find is the use of a GoTo command..

im pretty sure basic isnt advanced enough to use classes

What are you smoking?

Get an 89, i used to have an 83 but after switching to the 89 I just can't go back ;)
