The Prompt Command

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

The Prompt command functions much like the Input command. It allows you to type a value to be stored to a variable. You can also prompt multiple values at the same time. For example:

Prompt A
//This will ask the user to type a value for A

Prompt A,B,C
//This will ask for a value for variables A,B, and C

You can also ask for input in user-made variables

Prompt cool
//This asks for a value for the variable "cool"
