Need Help With programming

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.

In the program that i am programming I came across a line of code that looked like this

Text(5,58,"2[n][|d] TO DIG"

what is the [n] and the [|d] i have a feeling they will come up again so what do i put for them?

It looks like they are telling the user to press [2ND] to dig.

[n] and [|d] correspond to the recursive n token used for sequence graphing and the Statistics variable d respectively. These are how SourceCoder, an online TI-Basic IDE on Cemetech, represents the tokens so they can be typed easily. The effect is that the word "2nd" looks a bit italicized, but replacing the text with "2nd" or "2ND" shoudl have no bearing on output.

The solution to a complex problem is often a simple answer.
