I wonder if it is th same for repeat?

Well, Repeat works differently (it always completes the loop at least once).

what is StartTmr?

Speler · « **Reply #18 on:** August 11, 2007, 11:58:00 am »

It is a command built into 84+'s and 84+ SE's which tells you in interger form what time it is. It is used like this:

:StartTmr->T
...Test Code...
:CheckTmr(T

ah ok i see

*bump*

I don't know if this has been said before in another topic but...

c1-->

CODE

ec1
10->X
100->X
200->X
c2

ec2

optimizes to

c1

-->

CODE

ec1
E2->X
E3->X
2E3->X
c2

ec2

Just a play scientific notation. It works just as fast, if not faster than the former.

I don't know about math operations on scientific notation numbers, but I would expect it to be the same. Either way this is a great way to save bytes.

Actually, 10^( is generally a faster way to do the same (or rather, a very similar) thing.

Halifax · « **Reply #22 on:** October 12, 2007, 09:40:00 am »

Really? It has been tested?

Speler · « **Reply #23 on:** October 12, 2007, 09:43:00 am »

Yup, it's in basic code timing thingy... I mean 10^( as one token by the way.

Halifax · « **Reply #24 on:** October 12, 2007, 10:00:00 am »

Yeah, I understand, cool. I didn't know that.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #25 on:** October 12, 2007, 12:33:00 pm »

i didn't knew E can be used without a number as prefix o.o

JonimusPrime · « **Reply #26 on:** October 12, 2007, 03:59:00 pm »

Yep it is very helpful that way

Well I just saw burr post about the graphing vars, and it is very useful!
c1-->

CODE

ec1:"randInt(X,Y->u;2nd 7 or 8 (u or v)c2

ec2
Now execute u/v and it works as an instruction

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #28 on:** November 07, 2007, 03:44:00 pm »

example, screenshot? o.o

You don't need to store C to a variable; Ans can be used instead.
CODE
:For(A,1,26+8D
:Repeat (B,Ans
:randInt(1,9→B
:randInt(1,9
:End
:0→(B,Ans
:End

However, if you use the randInt(1,9 statement elsewhere in your program, you can store it to one of the graphing variables (such as u or v) and then use that instead.
CODE
:"randInt(1,9→u
:For(A,1,26+8D
:Repeat (B,Ans
:u→B:u
:End
:0→(B,Ans
:End
