I was just wondering what programming language is the TI-BASIC for the Voyage 200. I have heard that teh TI-89 is in C, so i was wondering if the Voyage 200 was C++ or something liek that.

Any calculator with a model number >= 89 uses the MC68000 processor.

I dont have one, but i know that it has basic just like the 83, and it has assembly that can be programmed in c.

so is the TI-BASIC for the voyage 200 pretty much the same as say an 83+?

Im pretty sure. All basic seems to be basically (no pun intended) the same on all systems. Computers, calculators, etc.

I guess that doesnt make sense, what i meant was it can be programmed in c.

There's basic, 68k asm, and C (TIGCC-compiler)

Dont confuse 68k with Z80 though, Z-80 is used on the older models.

I think Z80 language would be better for Z80 processors and 68k would be better for MC68000 processor Razz

It depends. Z80 is by far the easier language to learn, but once you've learned it, 68000 is infinitely easier to program in.

Maybe I should try learning Z80. I don't use my 89 that much anyway, and mostly for math (even Basic games are better, faster, and smaller on my 83).

There are three types of languages for the Voyage 200. The built in TI-Basic stuff, MC68k assembly stuff, and then the C (TIGCC) stuff. Don't fool yourself by saying that the V200 basic is the same as the 83 Plus. (There are many similarities.) But one thing that isn't the same is that for every If, For, While, etc, you have you must have an EndIf, EndFor, EndWhile to go with it. Makes it a pain porting stuff... And then there's the minor changes in syntax for some of the commands.

mostly the added convention by which built-in functions use parentheses while built-in procedures don't.

Z80 asm is a pain in the butt to learn. Expecially if it is the first highlevel language you learn. Thats pretty much what I'm doing but it is a fun challenge. Thats why my asm game has taken so long and will take even longer most likely.

Since when is assembly high level? Last time I checked assembly was still low level and languages like BASIC, C, JAVA, etc. where high level.

Right. ASM is about as low as it gets. I tell my roommates it's basically 1 step above programming in hex.

Perhaps he meant high-level for him? Neutral
