I know it does, I've used it to encode and decode messages myself.
As it is right now, if a message has more than nine characters, it uses multiple matrices. This means that the user has to write down each matrix on paper before moving on to the next matrix. It's also on the user to translate each letter of the alphabet into numbers. I've got a lot of work still left to do.

First of all because you used the word "fail" which is prohibited in my dictionary :) To quote the lovely folks from 'Mythbusters', "failure is always an option". NLP is providing structures and methods that work on 99% of the people. And if one method does not work on person A then changes are very slim a other method wont work either. NLP also wields the power of language. Both verbal and nonverbal language. NLP has some much tricks in it that it has a 100% succes rate because no one is completely immune to NLP (except for the dead xD) It is impossible to have a 100% success rate--at least, not without someone fudging the data. And until you provide me with quantifiable, unbiased, scientific fact, I am inclined to be very dubious of your claims.

Human variation is what I mean. You'd be hard pressed to find any two people whose psychology is identical. Even identical twins are different--it's a matter of nature and nurture.

You missed what I'd said before that (not that it makes things any better)... [15:30:01] * holmes221b probably shouldn't be reading the funny quotes thread right now...they're trying to blow up the moon with nukes right now--the idiots!--and the main character's father-in-law is having a heart attack.
[...]
[15:30:39] <holmes221b> now the moon's gonna hit the earth five days sooner.
[...]
[15:33:29] <holmes221b> new solution to save the earth: turn the moon into a giant electromagnet, using a machine powered by nukes. I love the Syfy Channel.
[15:33:55] <holmes221b> They make raping science so entertaining.
[15:34:19] <holmes221b> *taping
[15:34:35] <holmes221b> Although raping does kinda still work...
[15:34:46] <holmes221b> (should I shut up now?) I'm watching this movie on SyFy called 'Impact', it's about a brown dwarf star colliding with the Moon.

When you have a list of numbers, say you had {1,2,3,4,5,6} and you do Ans=3, it would test if each element is 3 so you would get {0,0,1,0,0,0}. 2(Ans=3) would give: {0,0,2,0,0,0} since every element gets multiplied by 2. 4(Ans=5) would similarly give: {0,0,0,0,4,0}. Adding each element together: {0,0,2,0,4,0} then doing a sum adds all the elements together so you'd end up with 6 as your answer.
Basically it is generating a random even number with a weird distribution where the average value is 6, minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 24. Oh wow, that's pretty cool. And my mom says "thanks".

QFIBCODE
A cipher program for the TI-83+, QFIBCODE uses a Q23 Fibonaci matrix to encode/decode messages.
To Do (not ness. in this order)
-Actually Encode/Decode Text
-Allow adjustment of message matrix size
-Check for Bugs
-Optimize Code
-Write up directions for proper use
Updates
December 11, 2010 ~ Attached program as it is thus far.

wow you have a cool mom
mine never would do that She won't let me get a link cable unless I buy it with my own money or figure out how to make my own (again, with my own money), though.

So that's where the list comes from...
My mom just texted me to remind me about the specific part of that line of code that she was particularly confused by. She wants to know what "Ans=3" and "Ans=5" means.

1072: You know how to make 1071 happen (at least, in theory, I do).

haha your like me: completely addicted to calc stuff. in my class they already say things like: "when are you going to use your calc as an internet browser" and "what did you ask for birthday present? a new calc? " lol :w00t: It took a lot of begging to get my first calc--they didn't like the idea of giving me something that could distract me in classes (I have ADHD, which means I have problems with focusing/paying attention), so it wasn't until 10th grade that I finally got one, when the teacher recommended that we had a calc for graphing (before that I used my mom's old BA-II). That's an odd line.
From what I can see, unless Ans is a list, you get an error.
So 3:sum(2(Ans=3)+4(Ans=5) gives me an ERR:DATA TYPE, while {3}:sum(2(Ans=3)+4(Ans=5) gives me 2.
It would seem only the first list entry affects it though, as {3,2}:sum(2(Ans=3)+4(Ans=5) just returns 2. So how does it make a list without making a list? :Pause randInt(1,6,5
:sum(2(Ans=3)+4(Ans=5

wow your mom learns basic!?  We were bored and she had left her Blackberry at the house, so I offered to teach her a little bit about programming calcs while we waited. I never leave the house without my 83+. The only assembly programming I've ever run on my calc is the one that allows you to have lower-case text.

Personally, I think homework shouldn't be required, however it should still be provided--maybe as extra credit? * holmes221b has found that she did better in chemistry when she actually turned in her homework...

A list? There's no mention of a list in the other half of the code, though.
Should I post the entire code for the program?

I was teaching my mom a little bit about using TI-Basic last night while we were waiting for our flu shots, and we ended up trying to reverse engineer one of the programs on my calc--one that I didn't write myself--and we got stuck on this one line:
:sum(2(Ans=3)+4(Ans=5
Could someone please explain how this line works for us?

North or South?
