Yikes, this just got tense :P

TI-Basic Dude, optimization is key to programming (specifically TI Basic, where things can get slow very quickly). I was more than happy to have my program optimized because after all, this program is really for Morgan Ernst, not us. If your program can be optimized, you should be happy to have someone help you out and make it faster. We're all here to learn and grow in our programming knowledge, not restrict it. Don't be afraid to learn (or be helped), just go for it (or accept the help)!

Additionally, this doesn't follow the grading format the Morgan Ernst wanted. You gotta keep that in mind too.

WHY would you store it just to display it? Using the code Battlesquid, burr, and I worked out there is not a lot of conditionals, and hardly any extra variables used.

With your method of storing the exact answer to a string you would need to do what the OP was doing where you check if its in the bounds, and then display it. The only difference is that you would store it and only display it once. The optimized routine that we suggested is way more efficient, uses less conditional statements, and still gives the correct answer every time. Not to mention that it doesnt overwrite the string variables

Because after you store the text into Str1, you can display the var, then delete it.

I already dont think that will work as not all the “points” on that scale are weighted evenly. For example: a 4 and a 3 total a 7/8 points. With a 4 and a 3 in his class he would get a 95%, but if you do 7/8 it shows as 87.5

Why would you do that? You still need to display it somehow, and theres really no need to store it to a variable

This is my version:

PROGRAM:GRADING
Clear Entries
ClrHome
Disp "Please enter the","total points","possible.
Input "Total=",T             //The maximum score (ex:20)
Disp "Enter your","score.
Input "Score=",S
Disp "Calculating...
S/T→A
A*100→A
Ipart(A→A        //This will be the percentage of the score.
"Failing
If A>59
"Passing
Ans→Str1
rand(50      //Time delay, this will act like the program is professional.
ClrHome
Disp "Your Results:
Output(2,1,"0
For(I,0,A
Output(2,1,I
Output(2,4,"%
rand(2
End
Output(3,1,"Status:
Output(3,8,Str1
Output(8,1,"Press ENTER.
Pause
ClrHome

This is MY VERSION. DO NOT OPTIMIZE. Or, it will no longer be my version and unique!

Is the TI-Basic Code using the Javascript code block? I do not think it is suppost to be blue.

You can shave off a couple more bytes:

:round(E2(E+.95F+.9G+.8H+.7I)/L,1→P
:int(.1P→X

E2 is the scientific E.

The startTmr command still uses the built-in clock.

The startTmr command is used with the built-in timer that is available on the TI-84+/SE calculators

As to prevent any confusion, this program would have to be made on the 83+ (if possible).

Isn’t The timer techncally part of the built in clock? Since thats not available on 83/+ calculators?

Edit: the starttmr page has it tagged with clock.

By doing StartTmr like,

0→S
StartTmr→T
Repeat getKey
CheckTmr(T
If Ans>0
S+1→S

So, if "Seconds" or "S" was greater than 59 seconds, it will become 0 and minutes will increase by one. Yes, but I do know there is some optimazation that can be made, but I am not a great optimizationist.
But this is one way you can only make your own clock instead of going by or changing the real clock settings. If you did, that would be a big mess. So just do this!

I do all my programming on my calc itself. I use TI-Connect for backups and stuff, but that's about it.

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

TI-Connect CE is my go-to IDE, mostly because it allows me to easily transfer files between my computer and my calculator, and because it can take screenshots of my calculator screen.

Heh, I create my programs on calc, mostly because I don't have a GRAPHLINK cable anymore. Using an IDE is pretty great though (I personally like SourceCoder 3).

I'm the same way. I prefer to use an IDE on my computer than to try to type stuff in on my calculator. If I know that the program will be short, and I'm in a hurry, then I may make it on my calculator, but that isn't the case very often.
