I learned to program on Texas Instruments calculators in the same form as this seven year old's application, I made really elaborate choose your own adventure games with if statements.
- rbanffy 10y agoMy first programs were for a TI-55 calculator. No conditional jumps, only a RST that restarted the program with data intact, so you could do some tricks. I managed to make it solve second-degree equations in less than 33 steps (using the RST jump to re-run part of the program on modified data). Without the trick it'd require, IIRC, 35 steps, which were beyond the limits of that model.
