I would like to make an option on the menu to quit the program using a Lbl. How would I do this? Is there a quit command somewhere? Thanks in advance.


You can do this:

Code:
Menu("TITLE",ITEM,lbl,"QUIT",Q

...code...

Lbl Q
ClrHome
Stop



Don't use Stop, if you will have stuff after the Quit Lbl, use Return. If not, just end there, no Stop or Return needed. Using Stop makes it error with Cesium./me

I think that c4000 suggested putting The quit label at the end of the program, so that's what I said.

Create a new menu item with your label name, then put that Lbl at either the very end of your program, or place the 'Return' or 'Halt' commands after the Lbl.

Thanks!
WHY WON'T IT WORK!
I have decided to remake this program using the new skills I have learned. I started out with a menu screen. On it, it flashes "press enter". The problem is it will only let the user press enter during the small amount of time "press enter" isn't on the screen, and that is very annoying. How would I prevent this?

Code:

ClrHome
Repeat G=105
   getKey->G
   Output(2,2,"------------------------
   Output(4,8,"Welcome to
   Output(5,11,"A OR V
   Output(6,6,"By Tate McCauley
   Output(9,2,"-----------------------
   Output(8,8,"Press Enter
   Wait 1
   Output(8,1,"                           
End
ClrHome

   Wait 1

Thanks for the help. K does make more sense now that I think about it. Also, can you have the formula for a Nth-gon inside of the program?

What do you mean? The formula for the area of a polygon?



This should explain what I want to do:

Then of course. Just maybe add a Label, and prompt starting values, and use those values in a formula which you can store to a variable.



How would you use output to display some options for shapes, and then wait until the user chooses one?
I tried this but it goes through like it wasn't there.

Code:

If Z=1
Goto B
If Z=2
Goto C

Lbl B
11->Z
While Z=11
   ClrHome
   Output(1,1,"Triangle (1)
// D
   Output(2,1,"Square (2)
// E
   Output(3,1,"Trapiziod (3)
// F
   Output(4,1,"Circle (4)
// G
   Output(5,1,"Rectangle (5)
// H
   Output(6,1,"Elipse (6)
// I
   Output(7,1,"Back (7)
// A
   Prompt Z
End
If Z=1
Goto D
If Z=2
Goto E
If Z=3
Goto F
If Z=4
Goto G
If Z=5
Goto H
If Z=6
Goto I
If Z=7
Goto A

Prompt doesnt take into account the Outputs. If you had 2 Output( commands, do Disp "","" (2 empty lines, remove the closing quote) to make the prompt appear on the 3rd line. I think this is what you are wondering/ asking about...

Try this:

Here’s that code as a Menu( command, and then that code as a custom menu:


Code:

If Z=1
Goto B
If Z=2
Goto C

Lbl B
11->Z
Menu("Select a shape.","Triangle",D,"Square",E,"Trapezoid",F,"Circle",G,"Rectangle",H,"Ellipse",I,"Back",A


For the record, uppercase letters are much smaller byte-wise and probably faster.

Custom menu:


Code:

If Z=1
Goto B
If Z=2
Goto C

Lbl B
1->Z
While K<=34
   ClrHome
   Output(Z,1,">
   Output(1,2,"Triangle (1)
// D
   Output(2,2,"Square (2)
// E
   Output(3,2,"Trapezoid (3)
// F
   Output(4,2,"Circle (4)
// G
   Output(5,2,"Rectangle (5)
// H
   Output(6,2,"Ellipse (6)
// I
   Output(7,2,"Back (7)
// A
   Repeat Ans
      getKey
   End
   Ans-24->K
   // one space v
        Output(Z,1,"
   Z+(K=1)-(K=10->Z
   Z(Z<=7)+7(Z<1->Z
End
K+24->K
If Z=1 or K=92
Goto D
If Z=2 or K=93
Goto E
If Z=3 or K=94
Goto F
If Z=4 or K=82
Goto G
If Z=5 or K=83
Goto H
If Z=6 or K=84
Goto I
If Z=7 or K=85
Goto A


I'm like 99% sure the custom menu works, but I never tested it.
Unsure how to begin programming calculators? Check out awesome-ti-docs, a guided selection of resources from across the community.
This is the formula for the area of a dodecahedron : (V=15+7√5)4*A^3. Would this work in my program?

Code:

((15+7sqrt(5)/4)(AAA)->X

Do:

Code:
Prompt A
(15+7√5)4*A^3->V
Disp V
Pause



Or

Code:

Prompt A
Pause (15+7√5)4*A^3
Ans -> X //if you want to store the answer

Very Happy

Or,
Code:
Input A
code
