List of Tables

Chapter 1. Diving into calculator programming

Table 1.1. A side-by-side comparison of a calculator and computer

Table 1.2. Specifications of the modern graphing calculators taught in the coming chapters. You’ll need at least one of these to be able to follow along.

Table 1.3. Interpreted versus compiled programming languages

Chapter 2. Communication: basic input and output

Table 2.1. The functions of the EXEC, EDIT, and NEW tabs of the Program menu, along with what happens when you hit [ENTER] in each tab

Table 2.2. Accessing the different functions that each key on your calculator can perform inside the program editor. Notice that for the key sequence, you press and release the first key before pressing and releasing the second key. You don’t hold the two keys together, as you might with the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key on a computer.

Table 2.3. The three tabs of the PRGM command menu and what each tab contains and is used for

Chapter 3. Conditionals and Boolean logic

Table 3.1. Five comparison operations, with their equivalents, their truth values, and the numerical values of those truth values. Comparisons between two numbers and comparisons between two strings are shown.

Table 3.2. The truth tables for and, or, xor, and not. Given some Boolean value for A and another Boolean value for B (shown in the left column), each of the four logical operators produces either true or false, as shown in the remaining columns.

Chapter 5. Theory interlude: problem solving and debugging
