Is it possible to call a program from inside another program?

It is in TI Basic

Under the prgm menu, go to the exec tab and directly enter the program you want to call on it's own line in the editor.

The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Well than you can't find that indeed :P Homer gave instructions for the TI84 series (which is assumed if you say "TI BASIC"). For Nspire, you just call a program by typing its name. example:
Code: [Select]
Define example()=
Prgm
anotherprogram()
EndPrgm

Whoops, my bad. I assumed the 83/84 due to the forum category :P

(Now that I think about it, do we have a separate forum for Nspire-Basic?)

ElementCoder gave the method for the Nspire. However, if I remember correctly subroutines called in a program must be defined elsewhere in the same document. I think there's a way to make it so you'll only need to define a program once and not everytime you use a new document, but it's been a while since I've done anything with the Nspire. <.<

Choose may be a local variable in the parent program, and thus bcode() doesn't know about it.

You could have choose as a global variable or pass in an argument to bcode()

Code: [Select]
define example()
requeststr"a b c",choose,0
if choose="b" then
bcode(choose)
text"its b"

Like so.

Edit: bcode() would look like

Code: [Select]
define bcode(choose)

got it i didn't need to change anything but thanks.
next time i should remember to save all programs. :crazy:
What happened was that i was building a program and saved it so i could see its working, but i forgot to save the "bcode program", so i was trying to runa program that was not there.

...I think there's a way to make it so you'll only need to define a program once and not everytime you use a new document...
There is, you'd have to make your program LibPriv or LibPub. LibPub will make it show up in the catalog, LibPriv means it won't. This can be set in the program editor by going to menu>1: Actions>7: Change Library Acces. You'd then access it by calling <libraryname>\function()

Yeah running a program that isn't there won't do much :P though that should have given you an error "Function not defined" (or you must mean you gave it no body).

I have just decided to pick up my "book-that-never-came-further-than-title-page" about Nspire BASIC, I should have a chapter or two done by the end of the week, though that probably won't be of help for you, Ch.1 will be about the editor and it's functionality and Ch.2 will be the hello world :)

If you want to make an RPG you should most definitely look at TI RPG and TI RPG 2 both by Superbany, especially the latter is extremely well made.

Edit:another Question

How can i from a number like 9.57 turn into 9?
if you didn't understand please say it.
