Example Of Passing Values To A Program - Texas Instruments TI-NSPIRE Software Manual

Define calculatearea()=
Prgm
area:=wt*ht
EndPrgm
• Embed the values directly in the object itself.
Define calculatearea()=
Prgm
wt:=3
ht:=23
area:=wt*ht
EndPrgm
• Use parameters in the definition. This lets users pass one or more
values as arguments to the object when they use it.
Define calculatearea(wt,ht)=
Prgm
area:=wt*ht
EndPrgm

Example of passing values to a program

The following program,
values must be passed to the program. The first value must be the height,
and the second value must be the radius.
When you define the program in the Program Editor, you specify in
parentheses the parameters that will be used to store the passed values.
The parameters are placeholders, so their order is important. The names
you choose should be names that remind you which information to
supply.
