Getkeys Working Within Time Limit

[Newbie]

I tried

Repeat Ans=105
For(X,1,100 (will shorten loop when figured out)
End

I need so if you dont press 105 in that for loop it does something and if you do it goes to something, but how could that work, and dont tell me to RTFM. It should be BTFM (Burn the f****** manual). When you get the SE it gives you a manual about 20 pages long, and thats it. :(

edit: when I mean shorten loop when figured out I mean when I figured out what the program will be like.

Um, your code needs a getkey. I think what you wanted to do is this:

0
Repeat Ans=105
For(X,1,100
End
getkey
End

But I would just do this:

Repeat getkey=105
(whatever)
End

Couldn't you do something to the effect of:

0->K
For(A,1,100
getkey->K
If K=105
100->A
End
If K
Then
(do stuff if enter is pressed)
Else
(do stuff if enter isn't pressed)
End

Yes, you do need to use K instead of just Ans, otherwise your keypress will always be 100. (100->A)

And if you want to respond to any keypress during that time, just change

If K=105 to If K><0 (not equal to)

If you have any questions, let me know!

And the manual is on a CD that comes with the calc.

The key to learning how to program from the manual is reading all of the programming chapter, all of appendix A, and try to think about how each function could be used.

[Newbie]

Yourm line with K does not equal zero what do you mean by that? What is zero suppose to be?

[Spyderbyte]

Sorry, I misread your original post, I thought you wanted to respond to any keypress. I changed it to just enter.

What is does is sets up a For( loop and checks for a keypress 100 times. If a key is pressed, it jumps to the end of the loop (100->A) and then you have the keypress stored into K.

Thanks thats what I wanted but the second end was not needed.

[Spyderbyte]

Oh oops sorry, originally I had an If K=105 Then 100->A End, but I took out the then to save a byte and forgot about the extra end. I'll go fix it.

first off, remove the 0->K at the begining. it isnt needed
second, use A(not(K))+100(K>0->A to check for keypresses. its bigger, but faster

so your code shoud be:

[Newbie]

ClrHome
For(A,1,50
getKeyüK
A(not(K))+50(K>0üA
End
If K=105
Then
Goto 1
Else
Asm(prgmSHUTSRC
End
Lbl 1
Input "PASSCODE: ",A
If A=30213
ClrHome
Stop
If Aø30213
ClrHome
Asm(prgmSHUTSRC
Stop

Program Shutsrc shuts the calc down, but if you type in the wrong passcode it still just stops the program. Whats wrong?

[Arcane Wizard]

First of all, never put goto statements inside if:then:else:end branches, or inside loops. Why not? Well, the calc has to remember it's in a loop or if:then:else:end branch and if you then jump out of it with a goto it still remembers it's in a loop and this consumes memory. If you do it too much you'll get memory errors.

As for why it still quits the program, I'll exlpain what your program actually does after lbl 1...

Input "PASSCODE: ",A //store inputted password in A
If A=30213 //check if proper password is typed in
ClrHome //clear the screen if the proper password is typed in
Stop //stop program regardless of any previous if statements, because you forgot to either put this in a seperate lbl and goto there or use then:end
If Aø30213 //if wrong password
ClrHome //clear the screen
Asm(prgmSHUTSRC //run this program, also happends regardless of wether you typed the wrong password
Stop //stops the program, happends regardless of wether you typed the proper password

So all it does if you typed the proper password is clear the screen and continue from there, which means stop the program. If you'd have entered the wrong password it still comes to the stop part and ends the program.

I believe you'd want it to be like this:

ClrHome
Repeat Ans
getKey->K
50(K>0->A
End
If K=105
Goto 1
// no else is needed here because it'd go to lbl 1 if enter was pressed so it only ends up here if enter wasn't pressed
Asm(prgmSHUTSRC
Lbl 1
Input "PASSCODE: ",A
ClrHome //since it clears the screen in both cases I thought I'd just put it here once and save a bunch of bytes (since no then:end is needed now)
If A=30213
Stop
If Aø30213
Asm(prgmSHUTSRC

If you dont press enter where would you stick to end the program so if you turned it on again it would not break.

[Fr0sty]

Not sure I understand what you're saying...?

[Newbie]

What I mean is if you dont press enter it will turn the calc off, but wont stop the program so if you press on to turn it on it breaks. I want to know how to stop the execution of the program if you dont press enter so when you turn it on it wont break.

[Arcane Wizard]

'break' ????

[DarkerLine]

[Newbie]

I want the program to stop if you dont press enter, but somehow after it turns itself off because I have a program that will turn the calc off.

[Fr0sty]

Okay is this what you mean:
You want the program to stop executing as in the program will be "Done" if you don't press enter during the time limit, but what happens is that it automatically turns your whole calculator off after the time limit anyway

-OR-

You want the program to turn off your calculator and to stop executing WHILE the calculator is off.
