TI-83 String

[|2eM!x]

Okay, so ive started school again, therefore needing to program on my calculator to pass the time. If i set a str like so
"yay" -> str1

How do i add yay into a menu? like
menu('yay & str1'...)

thanks

you mean concatanate two strings? Not sure if that's possible...

Yeah so, I get out my TI 83 silver plus, I believe you can do something like this:
menu(str1 + "yay", [menu title i think], [submenu number], [submenu title]) or
menu("yay" + str1, [menu title i think], [submenu number], [submenu title])

Because if you store something in str1 and goto the main screen and type in Str1 + Str1 itll display whats in Str1 twice.

Right you are. Just use the + operator to concatenate them then.

my next question..is how do i convert a string to an integer and vice versa? Id like to know how i can display this

say i have
33->X
Menu("Your Health is" + X,"Hello",a,"ead",b)

ignore the bad syntax, but the question remains!

A-Z are for intergers only (on the TI-83, on the TI-86 they are for both but thats besides the fact).
Str1-Str0 are for strings only.

If you knew ASM you might be able to write an ASM routine to convert each.
So if you want to increase a number X+1->X.

Find a TI-92 and use it. Sure, you cant use it on any of the big tests (ACT, SAT, etc). They can do almost any advanced college math (and they can solve complex equations for individual variables).

Not only this, but the BASIC for that calculator is a bit better, and a bit more structured (with subs and functions).
