program it!!!

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.

Check this out!!!

Ti-calc has opened up an archive for Ti-Nspire. And where are people going to find information on how to program the new inspire? Well of course, here!!!

What do you think?

Check this out!!!

I am already working on an Nspire section for TI|BD. All I need is time.

I'm in a Pre-calc class so I find myself swtching between Radians and Degrees a lot so I'm trying to create a simple program for my Nspire that will detect what mode the document is in (using the getMode() command) and I understand what parameters to use but after that I don't know how to use that information to tell the calculator what to do. I use getMode(2) (meaning angle within the mode menu) and I can use setMode(2,1) (to set it for radians) or setMode(2,2) (for degrees) but I don't know how to access the results from the getMode(2) query. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please reply if you need any clarification. (You probably will. Lol.) Thanks!

Sorry for taking long to respond.

I don't actually know what happens for I have never dealt with those commands before, but I can guess.

Apparently, getMode(n) will find what mode a calculator is with section n. So, section 2 is angle mode. Therefore, the output is either the words "radian" or "degree", or the output is either 1 or 2. With the first set of answers, there might not be a lot you can do. With the second set, you can use the numbers in conditions. So, If getMode(2)=1 Disp "Radian".

When I get the chance, I'll look it up in the manual.

Actually, I wasn't expecting a response so fast. So for that, thanks. And I just found my manual which then reffered me to the guidebook (online or on the original disk). It says nothing for the use of the getMode() command but does touch on the setMode() command and it's syntax. Unfourtunatly, it also has a note saying mode changes made within a program (or function) only affect that witch is within the program (or function) and do not persist outside of it. So the getMode() command remains a mystery but at least the setMode() command has been defined. Too bad it doesn't do what I need. Hopefully others can still benefit from this. Thanks again.
