Is prompting for a matrix is a program possible

Chadd (guest) 30 Apr 2014 23:06

I am attempting to make a program on my Ti Nspire CAS to assist me with my advanced system dynamics course. One of the programs I am trying to make is for system modeling and state equation analysis. It would be easiest to do this if I could use the prompt command and be able to return a matrix, however the prompt command will only allow me to return a scalar value. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could do this?

You can use a double For loop to store values one at a time. Assuming a and b are the matrix dimensions:

newMat(a,b)→mat
For i,1,a
For j,1,b
Request "Element",elem
elem→mat[i,j]
EndFor
EndFor
