1          WHAT IS CALC X?

 

Calc X is a program for your TI-83, TI-83+ or TI-83+ Silver Edition that adds 5 new functions to your calculator. The functions are chosen and made by me. I can guarantee that it works on your TI-83.

 

 


2          HOW TO INSTALL CALC X?

 

That’s very simple: there are no setup-files included in the zip-file; just send calcx.83p to your TI-83 or calcxse.8xp to your TI-83+. This program has not been tested on the TI-83+, but you can send both files to your calculator and test which one works. The 83p-version will work on the TI-83+ for sure. To start the program Calc X just run calcx or calcxse on your calculator!

 

 


3          FUNCTIONS

 

Calc X has 5 new functions: getKey>n, n>getKey(, randDec(, StatStr and aver( (83p-version) or average( (8xp-version). Just enter on a function to insert that function into the base-screen. After completing the function, the program will automatically stop.

 

      

Menu 83p-version                           Menu 8xp-version

 

a)        getKey>n

This is an easy function: just press a key and your calculator will display the number corresponding with that key.

 

[ENTER] was pressed

 

b)        n>getKey(

Now you type a key-number and the calculator will display the text that is on that key. For example: if you choose the number 54 the calculator will output “TAN”.

The ) after the number is not needed.

 

15 is the number corresponding with the GRAPH-key (F5)

 

c)        randDec(

This is the most difficult function, but easy anyway. randDec( is on the screen when you choose this function. randDec( selects a random number between left bound and right bound with # decimals. This function didn’t already exist on the TI-83 but is made with a combination of randInt(.

randDec(<left bound>,<right bound>,<decimals>)

 

Selected is a random number between 10 and 20 with 3 decimals

 

d)        StatStr

This is a very useful tool. You type the number of the string (0-9) and the program will display the length of this string, the size of this string (the space that it takes in your calculator) and the first 3 characters.

 

“HELLO” is stored in Str1

 

StatStr1 displays the length, size and 1st 3 characters.

 

e)        aver( / average(

This will calculate the average of all the numbers you type in after the (. The numbers are seperated with ,. There is no maximum of numbers. If you type a lot of numbers, it can take a while before your TI-83 has calculated the average.

You can also put in L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 or L6 and calculate the average! Just type in aver(<list>) or average(<list>).

 

      

8xp-version                                      83p-version, you see you don’t have to type a “)”
