Mini-Python is on the newest TI-84 calculator Python has INFINITE INTEGERS CATALOG HELP not available on older 84's or 83's The TI-84-Plus-CE calculator has a number of new functions that aren't even on the Silver Edition. In statistics, if we wanted to calculated the IQ score for the top 1% of the population on a CE, we can use the RIGHT tail, while on the older calculators, we need to calculate area to the left only. Here is one example of how new parameters are now available on the TI-84-Plus-CE (if your calculator has downloaded the new (5.3) operating system.
If your TI-84-Plus-CE does not have the EDIT MENU, go to education.ti.com, then use TI-Connect to download operating system 5.3 to your calculator. To get to the EDIT menu, press (Alpha) (F5). When you are writing programs, you can undo some of your mistakes (I have often accidentally clicked CLEAR and had to retype an entire line) or duplicate lines from one place to another. Press (Math) then scroll down to find the Piecewise option (B).ĮDIT MENU has (Cut & Paste) and (Undo Clear)Ī long needed TI-84-Plus-CE improvement is finally here. Piecewise functions can have up to five components each. I taught these convoluted methods to my professor.) (Some professors don't know the convoluted method. The piecewise functions you see to the left are much easier to comprehend than the convoluted expressions that are shown below.īoth sets of functions work identically. On the newer TI-84-Plus-CE with its new (5.3) operating system, we can now use piecewise functions that are simpler and easier to write and comprehend. Which has both TI-BASIC and mini-Python programming compiler/interpreters. Your obvious (only) choice is the TI-84-Plus CEīut if you are interested in computer programming, or if the prices are similar, get the TI-84-Plus-CE-Python If your school recommends you buy a TI-84 calculator,
