    Code Ti-89
Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the process of transferring code from MS Word to a TI-89 calculator using TI-Connect software. Participants are exploring how to convert a specific interpolation program written in text format into a usable program for the calculator.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares a code snippet for interpolation that needs to be transferred to the TI-89.
  • Another participant expresses the need for a method to convert the MS Word text into a format suitable for drag-and-drop into TI-Connect.
  • A suggestion is made to use a compiler for a desktop machine to prepare the code for transfer.
  • One participant reports an issue where the program pops up briefly and then disappears when attempting to run it.
  • A later reply points out the existence of a README file in the archive that may contain helpful information.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the best method to convert and transfer the code, with multiple approaches and issues being discussed.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations may include the need for specific formatting or compatibility issues between MS Word and the TI-89, as well as potential misunderstandings regarding the use of TI-Connect software.

My Thermodynamics teacher gave me a code for various calculators to put into the calculator for Interpolation. I am just wondering how you put this code that is in MS WORD onto my TI-89. I have the TI-Connect software. Here is what is looks like:

This code is for the TI-89:

interpol()
Prgm
getMode("Exact/Approx")->oldmode
setMode("Exact/Approx","APPROXIMATE")
ClrIO
DelVar e
Disp "Where knowns are a,b,c,d,f"
Disp "This solves for e:"
Disp " a d"," b e"," c f"
Disp "Press ENTER to continue"
Pause
Prompt a,b,c,d,f
f-(c-b)*(d-f)/(a-c)->e
Disp "e is: ",e
setMode("Exact/Approx",oldmode)
EndPrgm

This really didn't help me in the sense that I already have the code...I need to make it in a form where I can simply drag and drop the formula into the TI Connect Device Explorer...just like any other program. How do I convert this text on MS WORD to a "program" that the calculator can use?
 
Then you would need to use something like THIS.
A compiler for a desktop machine and after you are all set and wrote your code - drag & drop, baby :) TI-Connect or install from the CD/DVD you got with the calc :)

THanks for the response, unfortunately when i try to run it it pops up for a second and dissapears
 
There's a README file in the archive and you should read it.
