Inputting Data into a Matrix
« on: December 09, 2010, 03:10:39 pm »
I was flipping through my pre-calculus textbook the other day and I came across a problem involving cryptography and matrices, specifically something called a Q32 Fibonacci encryption matrix. Being the sort of person I am, I immediately decided I needed to code a TI-BASIC program utlizing this method of encryption.
But the only problem is that I can't seem to figure out/remember how to input data into a matrix--I keep getting either ERR: DIM or ERR: DATA TYPE for the key matrix, no matter what I try.

And how would one go about inputting user selected variables into a matrix? I've currently got the following bit of code in my cal for this, but until I can figure out how to input data into a matrix the code remains untested.
Code: [Select]
:Prompt A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
:[[A,B,C][D,E,F][G,H,I]]->[J]

Did you make sure you're using the [J] token and not just typing it in?

Yeah, I can't get it to work either.
However, you can do

Code: [Select]
List▶matr({A,D,G},{B,E,H},{C,F,I},[J]
and it will store them to the matrix.

I just tested the code from the first post on my calc and it works perfectly.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Huh, whatever was the problem with the code when I first tried it, it's working now that I've added a menu to the program. xD

Thanks for your help though. I might just use your suggestion anyways in this code, it looks much neater than storing the values straight to the matrix.

This code is neat, because it doesn't update the Ans variable, thus, less risks of ERR:MEMORY messages under low RAM conditions.
