NSpire Input
« on: October 16, 2010, 12:19:23 pm »
Hey there, I know how to get input from the user like this:

Code: [Select]
Define LibPub cube(n)=
Prgm
Disp n, " ao cubo e igual a ", n^3
disp "by David"
EndPrgm

A small program made in portuguese.

I get the input from the user, because the user has to type:

Code: [Select]
cube(n)
I want another way to get input, like a box, where they enter a number or like a flashing cursor and they enter the value.

Thanks much!!
David

I think there's some dialog functions for that. I've never used Nspire OS 2.x, so I do not know what they are.

I've seen some dialog functions too, that's exactly what I want :)

If you go to the menu in the program editor, and go to I/O, there should be two functions, one for inputting numbers and the other for strings. I forgot the syntax, if you find those in the catalog, it should have the syntax near the bottom of the window.

Wasn't it something like Request() and RequestStr()? I'm not sure anymore.

up to now I've seen strings only in the function/prgm("hereismystring1","hereismystring2",...)
but not in the middle of the program to get strings...

Its: Request "x",a
Or for Strings: RequestStr "x",a
x is the message which is displayed
a is the name of the new variable which is given a value



up to now I've seen strings only in the function/prgm("hereismystring1","hereismystring2",...)
but not in the middle of the program to get strings...

You can use it par example like this

...
RequestStr "Name",name
...
Text "As the dusk arrived you heard someone shout"&name&",irritated you turned around..."
...

hope this doesn't sound to educational

Cool thank you for the info. I did not use OS 2.x and above a lot (the only OSes to have Request) so I wasn't too sure. Most of the time my TI-Nspire is in 84 mode and when it isn't I use OS 1.1.

If you're fine with your calc looking weird, you could buy the clickpad from TI ($10), and then use OS 1.1.
