89 Basic Optimization and CAS
« on: December 01, 2006, 01:49:00 pm »
Two questions:

1. I've noticed that if you type colons between commands in TI Basic, the first command is executed and then the second (following the colon) is exectued, etc. Does this save space or optimize the code in any way?

2. Also wondering if there is a way to expand the power of the 89 CAS w. arithmetic. i.e. the calculator cannot do 500! or really big numbers. Is there a way to make it work?

Grayworl no the colons do not save space and they do not make your program because if you think about it when you press Enter the editor goes down one space and adds a colon so you are just adding the colon manually so sorry to inform you but this helps nothing
There are 10 types of people in this world-- those that can read binary, and those that can't.
