I.10 Programming

I.10.1 Entering a Program: The TI-82 is a programmable calculator that can store sequences of commands

for later replay. Press PRGM to access the programming menu. The TI-82 has space for many programs,

each called by a title you give it. The title should be descriptive and can be eight characters, letters, or

numerals long (but the first character must be a letter).

In the program, each line begins with a colon : supplied automatically by the calculator. Any command you

could enter directly in the TI-82's home screen can be entered as a line in a program. There are also special

programming commands.

You may interrupt programming input at any stage by pressing 2nd QUIT. To return later for more editing,

press PRGM , move the cursor down to the program's name, and press ENTER.

You may remove a program from memory by pressing 2nd MEM 2 [Delete...] 6 [Prgm...]. Then move the

cursor to the program's name and press ENTER to delete the entire program.

I.10.2 Executing a Program: To execute a program you entered, press PRGM and then the number or letter

it was named. If you have forgotten its name, use the arrow keys to move through the program listing to find

its description. Then press ENTER to select the program and enter again to execute it.

If you need to interrupt a program during execution, press ON.

The instruction manual for your TI-82 gives detailed information about programming. Refer to it to learn

more about programming and how to use other features of your calculator.
