One second For loop?

L1k3awh15p3r 14 May 2013 23:47

Has anyone found the single for loop that's as close to one second as possible? I know that this is pretty close to a one second pause:

:For(X,1,1000
:End

Please reply with your For loops! Thanks all

try this instead

StartTmr    //should be going already, but just in case
CheckTmr(x→ x
Repeat Ans=1
CheckTmr(x
end

of course this is all assuming you have the correct model

I don't have exact timings, but what are you using the loop for? If it's for a simple pause with nothing else happening during the pause, a rand command can work:

rand(X         // X being whatever number needed for a pause

Another thing to note is that different calculator models might have different processor speeds, something to keep in mind when making something like a timer program.

Well said indigo :) silver phantom's code will work for ti84's but not on 83 plus's.

Oh kay, I didn't know any of this rand(X and Timer thing. I was trying to make this clock that really sucked because I used a While loop, with it clearing the home (a slow process) and then displaying the new time. I wanted to make a one second delay in the code to let the screen completely clear before showing new data. Xeda showed a much better code to me, so it's redundant now… but I still want to know how exact to a second a For loop can be :)
