Title: [83+ BASIC]How to use the % character?
Post by: Krid on January 25, 2007, 05:56:00 am

I seem to be incapable of printing a % to the screen. When I write my programs in Ti Graph Editor it replaces the %'s with a ?.

I, however, found a BASIC program that actually stores a bunch of these "hidden" characters in Str1, http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/375/37572.html

The source does not seem to make sense when opened in Ti Graph Editor. So.. how do I do this?

_{Does this mean I'm working on something? Yeah, it does :P}

use SourceCoder, or get a mac and use TI Connect OSX

You could just send this program to your calculator...

Copy all the symbols you want from there.

I made a program with all the characters you can access (on an 84+SE; I've been told there are problems with it on an 83+).
That includes quote and the STO-> arrow.

nice to see you are still into calc stuff krid. Unfortunately i think the % char cant be used, except maybe with a special program :(

, else you need to use the I% from the finance app menu and hide the I with a space :(

Well, I didn't actually add " and -> to the prog yet, as it would require some external variables from the user.
But to get a quote, make a prog with Input Str1 and put in a quote.
STO is a little more fun; enter a storing equation on the homescreen, go into Y= editor, 2nd + Entry, delete the extra chars, and Equ->Str for the win.

hmm I wonder if this was asked before, but is there a way to store "->" into a string from a program without having to carry the string with us in the zip file/group??

I don't think so without asm.

Thanks for the solutions so far. The use of sourcecoder seems to be the most appropriate one, however I cant get it to work with the % character. All solutions requiring external programs on the calc will work but are not very fitting, seeing the game (Yeah, it's game.) would need an external program to work.

Basically I'm looking for a way to implent the % sign directly into the program code.

Krid, if you use the program I posted on the calc and copied it into your game, then you do not need an external program. The whole point of the program Kerm and I made is to allow a programmer to copy a symbol into their program.

I missed the crucial part of your program! :banghead:

Great, I've got it to work now! :)
