How to Program a Calculator pt 2: Creating a Simple Program

Part 2 of 4. This segment covers putting all the information from the first segment to use. Creating a Simple Program takes the viewer through the step-by-step process of making a successful program called Grade (I call it GradePro in my calculator). It calculates what one would need to get on a final exam if the final was weighted 20% and the class grade was weighted 80%. The next segment is more in depth, and it teaches how to expect program errors and fix them before they occur. A Palaverous Production created by Jeff Green on 5-28-2008.

Is it weird that I do this for fun sometimes?

[AlbatrossNecktie]

@jaybeebee14 Nah...how'd you think I got started? :)

I also taught myself, and made a finals program. however, I use input instead of prompt. If you do: Input "Current Grade=?",C It will display the message and, once you type in the answer it stores in in C all in one step. It also doesn't show the C=? which is nice.

@moviesmadebyjosh Wonderful news. Yes, using 'input' will work just as well.

@rupluttaja

"2nd + (plus key)"

go to mem mgmt/del

go to prgm

use the 'delete' key on any programs you wish.
