So… I have some goals for my Prizm programming—the end goal is making two apps that I have good ideas for (actually, both of my ideas are just redoing some TI-84 apps that I want for my Prizm, so not really MY ideas, but..). But first, I figured I should get more comfortable with Casio BASIC and programming in general (hence I am writing basic programs and also trying to learn python). That was probably a smart idea because I’m pretty good at getting stuck and making mistakes, even in simple programs.
Here are some problems I’m dealing with now… I would love any help/suggestions you have! I apologize if anything I ask already has an explanation on WikiPrizm or has been asked here in the forums. After failing to figure these problems out on my own, I tried to look through those sources first before asking. Also I apologize if I use terminology incorrectly. If I don’t ask something clearly, please let me know, and I’ll try to clarify.
1. Is there a way to make a program print all the solutions in a list without having to use the step function? Last fall, I needed to print multiple solutions, and someone on here told me about the step function. That worked really well when I only needed to step through 2 or 3 answers. Now, I want all the solutions of a loop. For example, I am trying the (seemingly) simple task of printing all the even numbers within a range. It would be nicer if I didn’t have to hit enter for every new number that fits the parameters, especially for large ranges with lots of answers.
2. Assuming there is a way to print out a long list of numbers, is there a way to be able to scroll through them? If I have a list of 40 numbers, I am guessing that the calculator’s instinct is to zip through them all the way to the bottom. Is there a way to enable me to go up and down to look through the list?
3. In a different program, I want to be able to concatenate a variable and a normal number and a character. For example, I’m trying to make a program that does prime factorization. I need to be able to display the answer: 2^a, 3^b, 5^c, etc. where a, b, and c are all variable answers. When I input the number 8 in my 2factor program, I want it to print the result as 2^3. I make do with simply printing 3 because otherwise all I can manage is 2^a. How can I get the program to replace the a with 3 (or whatever the answer is, depending on the input) when I display the answer?
Thank you,
Lily
