How do I prompt a user to define a variable?  i.e. to display the phrase "Enter an integer" and have whatever the user inputs define the variable for the program.

I do have the latest updated version of the operating system.]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:30:05 insertnamehere http://www.bluecrimson.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1202258082/ http://www.bluecrimson.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1202258082/#num1
This is more out of curiosity than anything else.  Everything else I've wanted to do I've generally been able to bang through.

Thanks for any help!]]> Wed, 6 Feb 2008 00:34:42 DonTobin http://www.bluecrimson.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1173472945/ http://www.bluecrimson.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1173472945/#num1 http://www.ti-nspire.com/tools/nspire/index.html Apparently, instead of one calculator, their releasing two. The Ti-Nspire and the Ti-Nspire CAS, which is the one I have info about.

One interesting thing about the Nspire is that it will have Ti-83 emulation via a removable keyboard. This means that the Nspire is programmable in this 83 mode, albeit as an 83. There is still no word if the Nspire supports Native Programming, or emulation of other calculators outside of the 83. The CAS calc does not offer emulation, most likely because the CAS software takes up the space that would be used for the 83 emulation, but this is a guess at best.

It also looks like they redesigned the keypad from the original graphics of the Calc I've seen, and have gone with what looks like a solid D-Pad system (similar to the 92) VS the arrow system the prototypes had. This was done to most likely utilize the cabri geometry system more efficiently. Speaking of the geometry, it is a lot more responsive than previous models. on my Ti-92, cabri was very slow, and would take awile to redraw and calculate changes. on the Ti-Nsipre, its almost instantaneous. You can definitely see a speed difference between the two calcs.

Anyway check it out on ti's website.

From the looks of things, Syntax wise it appears to be compatible with Ti-92 basic except for one critical exception. The calculator appears to not have any draw functions in any way. I didn't see any picture support whatsoever, no pixel drawing support, or even graph screen text support. Apparently all drawing functions were removed from this calculator. Data matrices appear to be dead in favor of more powerful matrix commands and Expr and indirection is still there from the looks of it, but that's about it.

Whats that mean to basic programmers? Pray for a graphics library to come out, because you're not going to be doing it in straight basic anymore. hopefully, since the product is in beta (as well as the documentation) this might change (or has already changed) in the future, but as it currently stands from my point of view, it doesn't look too good.]]> Mon, 23 Oct 2006 20:53:35 fryedsoft
