I have a TI 84 Plus SE with the 2.43 OS. I was trying to do some specific output to the screen and realized it didn’t have the toString command which is in the newer OS. I don’t play around with the calculator that much to download the new OS. Just for kicks I wrote something that works. Since a lot of people here like to optimize code, I thought I would post it and see if anyone wants to optimize it or make it better. When the code is run, at the ? prompt, key in some value like .5 or √37 or sin(24). The result will be displayed on the same line as “Z=“ instead of the next line. It also prints out the full 14 digits of the answer if you display it on a line by itself. I just tried and realized that it doesn’t handle negative numbers. If a number is less than 1, it will print a leading 0 before the decimal point. The sub command can be use to limit the number of digits displayed.
Code:
Input V
“0123456789”->Str1
“0”->Str2
iPart(V)->I
fPart(v)->F
While I>0
fPart(I/10)->J
iPart(I/10)->I
sub(Str1,J*10+1,1)->Str3
If Str2=“0”
Then
Str3->Str2
Else
Str3+Str2->Str2
End
End
If F ≠ 0
Then
Str2+”.”->Str2
End
While F*10>0
iPart(F*10)->G
Str2+sub(Str1,G+1)->Str2
fPart(F*10)->F
End
Disp “Z=“+Str2
Pssst... 2.53MP for the TI-84 Plus doesn't have toString( built in.
But, cool idea.

Dude, that's literally why he made this program.
Nice work though dave1707! I'm like that someone took the initiative to do this in basic. Any thoughts on how you might improve it?
Here’s the above code to handle negative numbers.
Code:
Input V
0->S
If V<0
Then
1->S
V*-1->V
End
“0123456789”->Str1
“0”->Str2
iPart(V)->I
fPart(v)->F
While I>0
fPart(I/10)->J
iPart(I/10)->I
sub(Str1,J*10+1,1)->Str3
If Str2=“0”
Then
Str3->Str2
Else
Str3+Str2->Str2
End
End
If F not= 0
Then
Str2+”.”->Str2
End
While F*10>0
iPart(F*10)->G
Str2+sub(Str1,G+1)->Str2
fPart(F*10)->F
End
If S=1
Then
“-“+Str2->Str2
End
Disp “Z=“+Str2
I like that you DIYed it, but
here you go.
No need to reinvent the wheel

I saw both of those. I tried the basic version and it works great. I don’t mess with asm, so I didn’t try that one. I like to try writing things myself just for something to do. It’s not the greatest, but it worked.
