Title: nspire basic program not working
Post by: Snake X on August 23, 2010, 09:14:15 pm

yep. I would think this would execute no problem.. doesn't do a thing when i run it. Super simple

Code: [Select]

Define test()=
Prgm
Request "enter a number",a
a+3->a
Disp a
EndPrgm

Make sure you hit control+b in the program editor to store the program.  That is the only thing I can think of that is wrong  (I tested the code on my Nspire and it worked fine)

It stores the program. The program won't work unless you do that.

I always have troubles remembering how to store programs on the Nspire. It's insane how hard they made things compared to the simple TI-83 and 85 series. Even the 89 is easier to use.

This.
OS 2.x seems to be even worse than 1.7. TI is getting waaaay to feature happy (yet the important ones still aren't appearing).
