Simple programming for your

TI calculator


2/33

The four things you want your

program to do: Prompt - to ask you for something

Calculate and store perform whateveroperations need to be done on that

something, and put it somewhere

Display to tell you what was the result of

those calculations on those somethings


3/33

Lets start simple:

Well program the

calculator to find the

circumference of a

circle:


4/33

Lets start simple:

Well program the


circumference of a

circle: First click PRGM:


5/33

Lets start simple:

Well program the


circumference of a


Cursor to NEW:


6/33

Lets start simple:

Well program the


circumference of a


Cursor to NEW:

Enter:


7/33

Lets start simple:

Notice the cursor is a

letter A, which means

its in alpha mode.


8/33

Lets start simple:



its in alpha mode.

The calculator iswaiting for you to type

in the name of the

program...call it

CIRCMFNC


9/33

Lets start simple:



its in alpha mode.

The calculator iswaiting for you to type

in the name of the

program...call it

CIRCMFNC

enter


10/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again

This time you see a

different menu than

the last time youclicked PRGM:


11/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again

This time you see a

different menu than


Cursor to I/O


12/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again

This time you see a

different menu than


Cursor to I/O

Select Prompt, hitenter:


13/33

Lets start simple:

Now the calc is

waiting for you to tell

it what to prompt for


14/33

Lets start simple:

Now the calc is



You have to get backinto alpha mode

before you answer


15/33

Lets start simple:

Now the calc is



You have to get backinto alpha mode

before you answer

So press ALPHA,

then type R, then

enter:


16/33

Lets start simple:

Now we have to give

the program a formula

to calculate

circumference, sotype in 2R


17/33

Lets start simple:

Now we have to give


to calculate


Then STO>

Then alpha C, then

enter


18/33

Lets start simple:

Now we have to give


to calculate


Then STO>

Then alpha C, then

enter

You just asked the

calculator to

perform the

calculation andcall the answer C!


19/33

Lets start simple:

Now we have to ask

the calculator to

display the result of

the calculation


20/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again,

cursor to I/O as

before, and this time

select DISP


21/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again,

cursor to I/O as


select DISP, thenenter


22/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again,

cursor to I/O as


select DISP, thenenter

Click 2ND ALPHA to

lock into alpha mode


23/33

Lets start simple:

Click PRGM again,

cursor to I/O as


select DISP and enterto get this:

Click 2ND ALPHA to

lock into alpha mode

Type C EQUALS, C

then enter


24/33

Now lets execute the program:

Click 2ND QUIT to exit

this mode


25/33



this mode

PRGM

Enter:

Type 10 then enter:

Displaying whatyou told it to

display!


31/33



this mode

PRGM

Enter:

Enter:

Type 10 then enter:

Calculated 2rand now

displaying the

result!


32/33

You can use this prompt, store, display

procedure to input programs for:

Vertex formula


33/33

You can use this prompt, store, display

procedure to input programs for:

Quadratic formula to

find zeros:
