Any T.I. (asm) programmers out there??

[cyberdemon]

I am a learning programmer, and I would like some help with asm programming on the TI-86. I already know Basic, but I have a few questions about asm, the assembly language. Just let me know if any of you even know what it is...

Once I programmed a TI-57 - whew, it was in the eighties!

In general, the program listing looks like some kind of assembler. In truth it consists of a true sequence of keystrokes you would have to press while doing a calculation manually. The assembler-look-alike is because of the key assignment which is a bit odd for a calculator. but regarding the possibilities of a TI-something I would rather call it a "macro language" nowadays. Only thing true assembler-like is the decision command: IF (expression is true) THEN (following command is executed) ELSE (following command is skip). That implies that in most cases the command following to a decision is a jump.

So, take a close look to the operating manual, it says it all. I'll bet you'll get it out.

And don't forget: TI-asm is ok for automating the TI calculator. But if you want to program something more complex, you're way more comfortable and powerful with basic!

Good luck!
