Nspire basic create functions in a program
« on: April 02, 2011, 03:54:15 pm »
I know it hasn't been a long time since my last post, but
as this is another subject I thought it was better to make a new one...

I was trying to make define a function again, for dont have many functions in the calculator
but I got this error: "To many recursions", and display "Define f2(x)=((f2(x))/(x-raiz))"
Code: [Select]
:        If a≠grau Then
:             Define f2(x)=((f2(x))/(x-raiz))

Now I was wondering if is possible to create functions like f3 ... on demand like
Define f(x)=x...


Thanks, for any help regarding this.

For all of you who don't know portuguese, raiz=root and grau=degree.

Concerning your question, this is TI-Basic for the 8x series right?
I know the ':' are there, but the syntax reminds me of NSpire.

No, this is Nspire BASIC. It's more similar to 89 BASIC than to 83 BASIC.

As for your question, you can't define a function to call itself (since that would end in an infinite recursion, which would be bad).

Is for the nspire, I don't thing the raiz=root may help any as what I need
is to define multiple functions

such as
f1(x)
f2(x)
f3(x)
...
fn(x)

And I can't figure a way to do it...

Oh, I see. I don't think you can do that, unfortunately. You can always overwrite existing functions though. Don't know if that would help with what you're doing.

It might help, but how can I overwrite and/or create functions since Define doesn't work?

You mean the error you got? That's because you're defining a function that calls itself. You can't do that.

What, no love for recursion? Oh well, I suppose the 8x models are the same.

Well, if allowed, the calc would keep computing the func forever because the func says to compute the func again to get a value, so it computes the func again to get a value, but the func says to compute the func again to get a value, so it computes th

No I mean when I tried:

Define f3(x)=f2(x)/(x-root)

It doesn't appear as error, but it don't work

I will post the code, so you can understand it better:

Main function:
Code: [Select]
Define vieta(number,grade)=
Prgm
:Local a,root
:   Disp "The root are:"
:   For a,0,grau,1
:    If grade=1 Then
:        root=newton2(number,15)
:        Disp root
:    Else
:       If grade=2 Then
:             newton3(number+a,15,root)→root
:            Disp root
:       Else
:              If grau=3 Then
©-----------------------------------------------------------------------
©Here is where it's showed as the error when I run the "program"
:                    newton4(number+a,15,root)→root
©-----------------------------------------------------------------------
:                   Disp root
:               EndIf
:       EndIf
:    EndIf
:   EndFor
:EndPrgm
In the bold line I get this error: variable not defined

Newton(x)

Code: [Select]
Define newton4(guess,number,root)=
Func
:Local new_guess,fn,k,newt
©-----------------------------------------------------------------------
©Here is the problem....
:Define f4(x)=((f3(x))/(x-root))
©This line doesn't work at all
©-----------------------------------------------------------------------
:newt:={guess}
:For k,1,number
:  new_guess:=guess-((f4(guess))/(nDeriv(f4(x),x=guess)))
:  guess:=new_guess
:  newt:=augment(newt,{new_guess})
:EndFor
:Return new_guess
:EndFunc

Note: newton4() is the same of newton3 which didn't any errors,
and If I call f2()/f3()/f4() they are not defined...

But where is newton2 / newton 3 ... Really not sure where goes wrong.

Can you define f4 out of the program, or does f3 change every time?

This is offtopic, but what software you guys use to code?

Probably the built-in program editor on the Nspire. There aren't any off-calc editors for Nspire BASIC yet, I think.

Nope, no other editor yet. I haven't seen any on TI-BANK either.
