Hi I need help with my code basically I want it to end the program and clrhome when I press clear but it isn't working please help this a test program I am a beginner and here is the script

Repeat K=45
getKey→K
Disp "A >/< B?"
Prompt A,B
If A>B
Disp "A is greater then B"
If A<B
Disp "B is greater then A"
Disp "=========================="
End
ClrHome
Return

So I can get it to loop once but after it tells me which variable is greater I get an error on the 2nd line. So, I moved the getKey command to the bottom, just before the End statement and ran it again. Got the error again but this time it took me to the Repeat K=45. I added DelVar to the top of the program just in case K already equals 45 prior to entering the program.

Sounds like there's some other people working on this so a real answer shouldn't be too far off. Sorry I couldn't be too much help right now.

Pressing Clear during the prompt will not register, as getKey is used before the Prompt.
The easiest way to add an option to quit would be to wait for a keypress before repeating, and if it is clear, then quit, otherwise, proceed.

Code:

Better code:

Code:

You can press enter to continue or clear to exit after everything has been displayed.
Ans holds the result from the last line.
The repeat loop near the bottom waits until a key is pressed, then stores that key in Ans.

Edit:
Not sure why I thought repeat worked that way. I haven't used it in a long time.

Hey, that works! The 0's are there because the calculator will store that value in the variable Ans automatically. You can use that trick to do some math and just "math_equation:Disp Ans" instead of "math_equation->F:Disp F."

EDIT: Thanks for fixing your post commandblockguy! That looks more correct.


Although yes your way will work. Repeat does not repeat for a certain number of times, that is what a For( loop is for.


I believe the reason you had trouble with using the Repeat loop is because:

I hope this helped and Welcome to Cemetech!

Repeat is a do-while loop. You don't need to clear the getkey variable prior to the loop, because Repeat will run once without regard to the condition, at which point getkey will store 0 in the variable if no key is pressed.
Although on the calc, Repeat works as a do-until.

This loop will exit when you hit clear:

Repeat K=45
getKey→K
End

K thanks.
