I believed ti-basic was bound to memory-errors.
Is exiting a loop with a goto the only way to block memory ?
Even without blocks like that some scripts ends with a memory error :(
Anyway thanks for this information.

The Goto instruction must never be put inside a While, Repeat, For() or If:Then/Else block. Otherwise, it never reaches the End instruction and the RAM that block took will not be freed up, thus, causing a memory leak and eventual ERR:MEMORY messages.

You can use it w/some unintended features of the parser (like how I implement subroutines), but yeah, you shouldn't ever unless you really know what you're doing. If you're not careful, it will be in a piece of infrequently executed code, and, just about as the player is about to get a high score after playing a few times for a few hours (must be a good game :)), BAM! ERR:MEMORY. And that would just suck. :)

Just curious, but what if you had a loop (While, Repeat, or For() and you put the Goto AND Lbl in the same loop, would that change anything? Just a random thought I just had.

It would work, as long as the goto and the Lbl are in the same level of the code then everything will work great :)  The problem arises when you are goto-ing a place that is at a different level than where you start.  (and by level, i mean how many loops/if's you are inside)

Hi.  I have a program that uses Goto [whatever] in an If...EndIf block.    The code is below.  It is a [incomplete] Gas Laws program for the TI-Nspire.  Because this is a program and will end, and not keep playing like a game, will I use RAM memory.  Also, if this does use memory, could I fix it by making it go back to the original If...EndIf block with a lbl at the end of it and have it display the answer from there?  Thanks!

Code: [Select]
Define LibPub gaslaws()=

Don't use goto in that program. Make the ElseIf blocks ElseIf...Then blocks and put your code between the Then and the next ElseIf.

That should make the program better.  Thanks for your help!  I have to finish this program fast before my Chemistry final.  I still have a long list of programs to go.

Sadly I think he is no longer into calculator development. His last release was back in the Ndless 2.0 days, a few years ago, and he didn't post here for months. D:
