I'll assume for right now you have the most popular TI-83 or 84+ or silver edition (referred to as 8x calculator series for short) and that you want to learn BASIC a) because it is 1000 times easier and b) because you can program it on your calculator (well you can asm too, but nobody really does). To start a new BASIC program, press the [prgm] button, then press the left arrow key [<-] and then enter. You will be asked to enter a name, so pick one and enter it. It must be 8 alphanumeric (letters, numbers, or theta ( θ )) characters long. Then go here and read the programming part and supplementary tutorials over until either your corneas start to deteriorate from staring at a fixed object for too long or until you understand it.

If you don't have a link cable you can look at Basic code in the Graph Link software and manually copy it into the calculator. |

Edit | 89, 89T, Voyage 200, 92, and 92+ are all called 68k for short. For the 85 and 86, most people just refer to them by that. Although, you could use z80. |

Total Posts: 465 | I agree, the 82 is a disgrace compared to the 85/86. Please do not argue with this post. I do no mean to offend all you 82 lovers out there (if there are any) :p

Edit | I am not much on the 82, but I still program a lil on it when I get bored. It is more challenging, because you have less to work with... |

Total Posts: 310 | The 82 was developed as a watered down version of the 85. They basically took the existing 85 architecture and pulled out a bunch of stuff while slightly reworking the rest of it. The 83 family and the 85/86 are more closely related to each other than they are to the 89 family. |
