The ►Dec 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.

This command is generally useless. Its supposed use is to convert numbers into decimal form, but any typed fractions are displayed as decimals anyway.

1/3
     .3333333333
1/3►Dec
     .3333333333

In 2.53 MP or higher, typed fractions are displayed in fraction form. Therefore, the ►Dec command is useful in this case.
