I can't figure this out for the life of me. My programming experience is limited, to say the least, so please bear with me. It's a TI-89.
Ok, so I've been trying to put together a program to do a series of simple calculations based on a few inputs and display the results. For aesthetic reasons I've been trying to do this via dialog boxes and for whatever reason I cannot get the result to display in the box. Here's the basic form of the code:
Code:
Dialog
Request "number 1",a
Request "number 2",b
EndDlog
expr(a)->a
expr(b)->b
a+b->c
Dialog
Text "the result is ",c
EndDlog
The second to last line, Text "the result is ",c is the obvious problem; it doesn't work. I can start the program and enter the a and b values, but then it just gives me the message "Invalid in Dialog..EndDlog block". Trying to substitute Disp for Text gives the same error, but then it pops up right away, the program won't even start. I tried making c a string value just for the hell of it, but I can't get that to work either.
I can't seem to find a function that is valid for use within Dialog blocks and also allows you to tack on a variable for display. The TI-89 manual doesn't list such a function as far as I can see.
I've found a dirty work around for displaying the answer as a default option with both the DropDown and Request functions, but I'm looking for something more direct than that.
I'm sure there is a way to get a variable value to display in a dialog box, but I can't figure it out. Help? |

Change:
Text "the result is ",c
To:
Text "The result is "&string(c ), but omit the extra space inside the parenthesis.
Moderator, please move this topic to the 68k Basic section.
