On a side note, although it is a bad practice due to the higher risk of data loss by accidentally pressing CLEAR and unreadability of the code, on the color model I like the ":" command separator a lot, because if you merge as many line of code together, it takes much less time to scroll through the code, especially with Doors CSE. I wouldn't recommend this if you plan to edit the code on a monochrome calc or computer, though.

By doing this on the CSE, you can save several minutes in scrolling to the very end of the source code.

My personal choices would be Repeat (such a shame that it's not in the TI-89 languages) and expr(.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

you could use while instead of repeat right?
instead of "repeat a" just use "while not(a)" right?

Repeat enters at least once, but while can also be entered zero times.

We should really change this into a "favorite routine" thread!


Mine is a Day of Week calculator (Month, day, and year are M, D, and Y, respectively):
Code: [Select]
:Y-(M<3
:round(7fPart((int(23M/9)+D+4+Y+int(Ans/4)-int(Ans/ᴇ2)+int(Ans/400)-2(M≥3))/7
Did you know that "Ammonia Gas" rearranged is "As Omnimaga"?

I'm pretty sure there are already some routine threads already. :P

On a side note, cumSum gotta have the worst TI-BASIC command name  of all time (I already brought that NSFW joke up before, but yeah the name looks a bit questionable) O.O

Maybe TI thought that students using that calculator would not be familiar yet with that stuff so they didn't mind using a dirty command name :P

Then again, how are you gonna shorten "cumulative" in another way?

cumulSum(?

Also, TI-Basic really needs first-class functions. And first-class everything, in fact. And the calculators need moar RAM.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)

I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

I would be ecstatic if somebody came out with a calculator that had LISP. A Scheme would be preferable (like Chichen or Racket), but any real LISP would be awesome.

Maybe I can make one for the TI-89.


(also, the zeroes on the TI-89 look like b00bs)

i never noticed that haha XD

i always thought something to make my own functions with like the symbolic functions would have been awesome (javascript can do it, why can't asm?)
