General Calculator Help / TI & programming languages used on the NSpire CX CAS
« on: December 12, 2013, 08:25:49 pm »
Hi everyone,
As you probably know, I'm very new here!
My A.S. degree is in IT.
I don't know much about calculator languages so I'd appreciate the help & probably so would anyone else who reads this!
Can someone please clarify the following languages & their interfacing, as it were, with the TI NSpire CX CAS?
I don't really understand the differences insofar as ease of actually using the languages goes & which language can do what
programming wise.
Basic
C/Assembly
LUA
What do I currently know or think I know?
Basic was/is a "basic" boolean type of calculator language for making programs for the calculator
C is a programming language for computers....Not sure exactly how it's been matriculated to calculators except for the fact
that commands are executed
Assembly...I have ZERO idea where this fits
LUA is TI's proprietary calculator programming language?
I ask because on ticalc.org, Assembly & Basic & LUA programs are found but not C based programs.
Other websites probably use the other languages.
Thank you from me & every other viewer of this particular thread in the future!
