You can use TI-Basic to create a program on your graphing calculator. You can create a program that will calculate a desired output or control an experience, such as a game.
A program is a set of one or more command lines, each containing one or more instructions. When you execute a program, the TI CE graphing calculator performs each instruction on each command line in the same order in which you entered them. The number and size of programs that the TI 84 Plus CE can store is limited only by available memory.
To create a program, simply enter command lines using the Program Editor. The program will run from the Home Screen. Use this guide to learn how to create, edit, and delete programs.
Tip: Use Catalog Help by pressing [ + ] on most commands to help you fill in the correct arguments for the commands before you paste them into the Program Editor.
As you progress in programming, a TI-Basic Program Editor is also available in TI Connect™ CE software. You can use the Program Editor workspace in TI Connect™ CE to create programs, to send programs to a connected calculator via USB, to test your programs, and to save programs to your computer. The Program Editor workspace in TI Connect™ CE allows copy, cut, paste, and undo commands.
Note: The Program Editor on the calculator does not contain editing features such as copy, cut, paste, or undo. When on the calculator, remember you cannot undo a [clear] or [del].
