I've been working 2 days a week at McDonald's and 3 days a week at HersheyPark.

As a staff member, do you get to ride the Great Bear every day after all the guests leave? That's a good roller coaster...

Does fighting off a mosquito invasion and sitting six inches in front of the AC count as "other activity"?

Why isn't making a video game on there?

Most of us just put "other" for that.

Still... If there are so many games on this site, that would have been logicaL.

Yeah I was kind of supprised to not see that option.

Has anyone else noted that no one has been in the ocean or a lake?

Bwa ha ha! I just voted 'lake' :)
Actually I'e been in the lake, river and pool... and will be going to the ocean.

Okay, so I spoke 28 minutes too early. Its been a couple of days and no one voted for them. For Christmas my Aunt and Uncle are taking my family to Hawaii for a week. I can't wait. Usually my family goes on a vacation for one week every summer at Refugio State Beach near Santa Barbara, but do to some unknow reason the beach opened up registratio times sooner than they wee supposed to so were not going this year.

Hey I can't blame people here for not going in the water, electronics aren't H2O friendly.

I am going to a lake in a few days.

I found a way to get rid of the memory leak problem when basic programming on ti-83/+ . The message "ERR:Memory" shows when you over-use a loop.

Here's how to fix it...

This is the loop...


Lbl 1

[Program Code]

Goto 1

The code above would cause a memory leak.

The code below stops it. I tried it and it worked over a half-hour (I then pressed ON to NOT drain the battery)...

1->L
Lbl 1

[Program code]

If L=1:Then:2->L:Goto 1:End
End
1->L:Goto 1

Please let me know if it worked for you...

Why not just use a While loop? It's much easier and uses MUCH less memory.

Because he's a n00b programmer that's why. And n00bs don't like change...

i think that this would be an excellent opportunity for someone to use 'repeat', the neglected loop statement.

You hereby must rewrite all your programs using shoddy labels and replac the labels with repeat statements. After you have done that, you shall convert them to while loops. this shall be your punishment.

I like repeat, though While is much more useful, since it relates more to other programming languages, I think.

Repeat 0

End

Anyway, to the n00b at the top, I don't see how that bottom code would help. If you use a Goto in an If-Then, then the stack pointer gets pushed further and further down until you run out of memory. Only use Goto in a plain If. (no then-end) Because the calculator is expected the End and it's never reaching it and... okay never mind. It would be like

my summer has consisted of living large and risking it all!!!!

ok, that was jst a lie. and now for the truth: summer classes. yes, summer classes. not school, but classes. it s really the same thing, only im in college, and have no parental supervision at all! college is the life.
