Using For To Wait For Output
« on: September 07, 2010, 08:54:42 am »
Hello,
 I'm learning TI-BASIC and I want to do this(here is pseudo-code):
Code: [Select]
: ClrHome
: For(...)
: Output(3,1,"WELCOME")
: End
: For(...)
: Output(4,2,"TO THE")
: End
: For(...)
: Output(5,3,"TI WORLD!")
: End But how I can use FOR to display that when passed 1 second(for the first one) and 500ms for the others?

Best Regards,
 Nathan Paulino Campos

Use rand(X) where X is a number that will give you the desired length. (positive integer only)

Also, welcome to Omnimaga! :)

Thanks very much for the welcome! But how I could put the RAND command on my source. Because I can't see anything like it on the Prgm menu. :(

rand is a MATH function. You can find it either using the Catalog which is [2ND][0] or [MATH][<].

Thanks very much! It works, but let me guess one thing: rand(100) will be the same of 1 second?
Also, when I put rand(1000) it gave me an error saying: "Invalid Dim"

You can't put rand(1000) because the OS can only have a maximum of 999 elements in a list.
Since this is the case, one can't put 1000.

So if I want a 10 seconds wait I just need to do something like
Code: [Select]
rand(500)
rand(500)
More Code...This will have the same effect of rand(1000). Correct?

Thanks very much. I'm learning TI-BASIC to understand better how the machine works. Then my goal is set to learn some of z80 Assembly. Since I'm an Assembly Guy, that know x86, 8086, 6502, MIPS and the painful ARM Assembly. :)

But ARM ASM seems really cool, especially for the Nspire D:

I understand learning ASM can be much harder for some people, though. I think it may be due to how certain tutorials (such as 28 days) are written, though. People who are visual may have an hard time learning ASM by relying only on it.

I've just said that is very difficult, I'm not dissing any language. Sorry about my bad english.
