Time and Date conversion challenge

(account deleted) 01 Dec 2020 23:53

Hello, everyone! Just for fun, I am making a challenge for you to complete. This challenge is targeted toward those who don't have a lot of experience in TI-Basic programming. But anyone with any experience level may participate.

In this challenge, you will convert the current date and time to a percentage that represents the progress of the year.

For an example input of the current date and time, the following temporary lists will be used:

Code:

getDate→L1
getTime→L2

And the output will be a percentage that looks like this:

Code:

32.18 (% symbol is NOT required!)

Another example is the start of the year is the very beginning of the year is 00.00 and the end is 99.99.

Requirements:

• The program must be equal to or less then 750 bytes
• The program must be compatible on all models of the TI-84 Plus family (including color editions)
• The program must be compatible with OS 2.20+ (no 2.53MP+ commands)
• The code must be YOURS! You may not copy it from other people.
• The output MUST have a fixed decimal place of two. (eg. 56.32)
• The output value must be >0 and <100.01
• No assembly is permitted. This includes ICE, Axe, BBC Basic, Grammar, etc.
• No libraries of any kind are permitted including Celtic III, xLib, Axe, BatLib, etc.
• You must work on this by your own. If you had help from others, what's the point?
• The deadline is 12:00 AM on January 1st, 2021 UTC.
• This program must work with any date and time of any year, INCLUDING LEAP YEARS.

You can take all the time you need, no need to rush!
