Yeah, that's what I was segueing my way into. Your classic stack-based calculator does things in RPN, using a shunting-yard algorithm to parse from infix to postfix.
I have to say that I agree with madk on the notice that bad maths doesn't coexist with programming.
On topic: Read a tutorial, apply what you learned. And guess what you should do next? Read another tutorial :smile.gif:
But you can program a calculator using a programming language.
Only a few people here could actually program a calculator. It's a lot harder than you think it is.
dude i make programs on my ti-84+ all the time, i made things like a random math quiz that gets harder and harder, and btw im only intermediate at it
just learned getkey and i think i can make games, i tried to make a game where u dodge falling things (like avalanche) and it frustrated me so much that i gave up on it
Good, that's not what he's talking about. You're programming on a calculator, you are not programming software whose function is a general purpose calculator.

Games like that aren't programmed in TI-BASIC. TI-BASIC is far too slow. Those programs are usually made in C with an SDK (and a specialized compiler). I've written C programs for TI calculators (not games; games on calculators are dumb) where TI-BASIC was too slow to compute them otherwise. I can't remember specifically what it was, but I do know it was a program that computed the inverse of some important function used in my compressible flow course. The inverse had to be computed numerically, but I had a decent rational approximation to it which I used to pick a starting guess for the Newton-Raphson method. The program ran extremely fast. As fast as any other built in function on the calculator.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

You seem knowledgeable in the field. How might I reprogram my CASIO fx-9750GA PLUS' firmware?
lol... it said last posted yourself and i was like "SHOULDNT IT SAY FACEMYWRATH!?!?" cuz it said yourself lolz...
ontopic:(offtopic) im good with ti84 programming, i know its pretty basic stuff but thats me! there arent many people in MY classes that can, only like 3 not including myself. Last year i just sorta sat around in mathclass making programs. Mainly cuz i knew all that ****
just so you know why should i show capitalization? or anything else, if you know what i mean whats the point
I love capitalization. Not only that but it is essential to effective communication. Consider the following sentence:
I helped my Uncle Jack of a horse.
Now remove all the capitalization. That sentence just changed from something you could say to your grandmother to something you would find on bash.org. Note that if you can't see what's funny with the sentence, your mind is not in the gutter enough.
@madk Little late on this, but Freshman math is no longer arithmetic. Maybe I'm smarter than normal, but my class was doing (semi) formal logic in the beginning of the year and trig functions by the end of it.

Not a clue. I've never worked with a Casio, nor have I ever actually worked with modifying firmware.

and then i pretty much do the same thing for each of them
If I deserve one, give me one.
