hi, lately i've been making some basic programs on my TI-84 plus for my probability class. i find it very difficult to program on the calc itself, so are there any programs out there for windows that can let me write and compile ti-basic programs? (.8xp or whatever the file extension is). also, can i use Microsoft Visual basic, as it's already installed? thanks!

^-- Above is right just use TI-Connect to move files on/off the calculator...

Get your hands on the ' TI-SmartView Emulator Software for the TI-84 Plus Family ', it runs the calculator on your computar, lets you type in the calculator with your keyboard, and you can even make files with notepad and transfer them to the virtual calc or get files off of the virtual calculator.

You definitely can't use Microsoft Visual Basic as it's a completely different language and not supported by any TI calculator.

ok, thanks. i know almost nothing about this, so i thought the fact that they both had BASIC in the name meant they were the same language or something...haha

TI-BASIC is an interpreted language for calculators with lots of built-in math functions and not much else. Calculator games like

are actually written in assembly.

Visual Basic is a general-purpose programming language running on top of the .NET framework, similar to C#. If you're interested in programming in general I encourage you to switch a more powerful language like VB as soon as possible.

For the record, I started with TI-BASIC too. :)

well i'm not really that interested in any programming language, i just wanted a faster way to make programs for the calculator. anything i make just does some simple algebra that would otherwise take twice as long. i am taking a C++ class, though

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
