Summary:

Is it possible to write a problem so that I get variables in my answers? I was attempting to write a program to do this, but I am new to the TI-basic language.

Variable answer/output

As I said in the summary, I am new to the TI-basic language. I am attempting to create a program that would have variables in the answer, so I think that I would use Disp for the answer, but I really don't know. Can someone tell me if this is even possible?
(P.s, I am using a TI-83+)

You can have variables in the answer. If you have something stored in the variable A, you could do at the end of the program:

:A

Or even

:Disp A

Or...

:Some code...
:Ans

It is very possible, and incredibly useful. There are two ways to have code within text, one is separating them by commas, such as this

Prompt A,B
Disp "A=",A,"B=",B

This works, and you get text on the right, with variables on the left.
The Other way is a bit more complicated, and uses the toString( command.
Here is an example, and I will work you through it.

Prompt A,B
Disp "A="+toString(A)+" B="+toString(B)

Lets say that you set A as 1 and B as 2. It will output A=1 B=2
This is a very useful when you want to display multiple pieces of information on the same line, or if you are limited to space.
Hope this Helps!
