"TABLE" Program for the TI-85 The following is a revised version of a "TABLE" program that was obtained from the archives at the Texas Instruments web site (http://www.ti.com). The "Fix", "Lbl", "ClLCD", "Input", "Outpt", "=>", "For", "End", "Menu", "Goto", and "Float" commands are available within the calculator's menues (you may need to choose them from the "CATALOG" listing of all commands, though most commands are available within the "PRGM" menues, under the "I/O" and "CTL" submenues). Other commands and variables are typed in by the user. Begin by hitting "PRGM", choosing "EDIT", and then typing in "Table". Once you hit "ENTER", the calculator will show the title "PROGRAM:Table", and the blinking cursor will be on the second line. This line will begin with a colon, as does every command line. Type in these command lines, hitting "ENTER" at the end of each command to create a new command line. (By the way, "=>" indicates use of the "STO" or "store in" key.) (Be careful with your typesetting: omitting or adding spaces where they do not belong will cause the program to fail.) Commands Explanations :Fix 3 fixes display at 3 decimal places :Lbl START marks beginning of program loop :ClLCD clears the screen to start input/output :Input "TblMin=",tblmin table starts counting at this x-value :Input "Incrmnt=",delta "delta" is increment for table's x-values :tblmin=>x starts computations with given minimum x-value :Lbl CONTD starts the table, counting from "tblmin" :ClLCD clears screen to display table :Outpt(1,3,"x") displays "x" as header for x-value column :Outpt(1,12,"y1") displays "y1" as header for y-value column :For(cnt,2,7,1) determines lines used for display of values :Outpt(cnt,1,x) computes and displays x-value on line "cnt" :Outpt(cnt,10,y1) computes and displays y-value on line "cnt" :x+delta=>x increments x-value for next line's computations :End end of "For" loop :Menu(1,"PageU",CONTU,2,"PageD",CONTD,4,"Reset",START,5,"QUIT",TQUIT) (enter the above as ONE LINE!) this menu allows user to page up, page down, reset minimum x and table increment, and quit the program :Lbl CONTU marks start of commands for using lower x-values :x-12*delta=>x shifts "tblmin" six units up from original value :Goto CONTD loops back to compute new table with new "tblmin" :Lbl TQUIT marks beginning of "quit" procedure :ClLCD removes table display from screen :Float returns mode to floating decimal display original source document: ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/graph-ti/calc-apps/85/math/ revised program produced by Elizabeth Stapel: http://www.purplemath.com
