TI-89 Titanium Survey

I can't even fill up the memory on my 89 with stuff that I use. I have a lot of stuff on their, but I never use most of it...

Yes. So the memory is not an issue, you have too much of it. And the functionality of the 89 can be duplicated on the 83+SE. Come to think of it, the 83+SE can do stuff the 89 can't. Like special fonts, a faster 3D graphing utility, and most important of all, it has less modifier keys.

89 has better resolution. (I'm a die-hard 89 user, by the way.) Yeah, I know that there are things the 83 series can do that the 89 can't, and vice versa. But I like what the 89 can do better.

Though it does have a higher resolution, you can't use about half the screen in basic.

That's what asm is for. Laughing

It is. Anyone know how to program in C for the Ti-89?

DarkerLine · Posted: 28 Jan 2004 09:47:58 am Post subject:

Good question. I was about to ask that. But maybe programming in assembly would be faster?

Not sure of that. Let's ask someone. Which is faster, C, or ASM?

X1011 · Posted: 28 Jan 2004 11:14:58 pm Post subject:

I would think ASM is.

Toksyuryel · Posted: 28 Jan 2004 11:42:44 pm Post subject:

ASM is faster. C is a high level language, and as such it is converted into ASM as it's being executed. ASM is already ASM, so no conversion is neccessary.

If C is translated into asm run-time, what's the point of compiling it?

DarkerLine · Posted: 29 Jan 2004 10:17:51 am Post subject:

If you compile it, it will be translated once so no further translation is necessary, and the program isn't slowed down when you run it by translating every command.

So let me get this straight. ASM is faster. Right?
So then which is less complicated C, or ASM?

Toksyuryel · Posted: 29 Jan 2004 09:19:56 pm Post subject:

C is a high level languages and as such is easier by it's very nature. The whole point of a high level language is to make things simpler for the programmer.

Jeremiah Walgren · Posted: 29 Jan 2004 11:05:34 pm Post subject:

C is better, but I believe ASM is faster.

shadowing · Posted: 29 Jan 2004 11:13:04 pm Post subject:

So which should be learnt first then second in a beginners style?

ASM, or C?

C.

Is it better to learn from a book, or a tutorial?

i like books better...i can't concentrate wen looking at the a screen

Arcane Wizard · Posted: 30 Jan 2004 08:16:32 am Post subject:

I perfer tutorials, since I never get round to reading 400+ pages on a programming language and I can learn the same stuff in a 20 page tutorial I can download for free.
