I'm writing Financial programs on a ti-86 in basic.
My question is how do I get the calculator to print out what it is actually doing...

ex: this is what I have now:

prompt a,b
a+b->c
disp c

I need the it to display what it is doing, for example displaying 1+2=3. Obviously if a=1 and b=2. Thanks for the help.

here's a small one I'm doing now for expected return, I need it to print out line 2 with the variables inserted.

Code:

:Prompt Xa,Xb,Ra,Rb
:(Xa*Ra)+(Xb*Rb)->Rp
:Disp "Expected Return"
:Disp Rp
The only way to do that really is to use Text( or Output( commands; the TI contains no internal mode for verbose display of its arithmetic work.
yea that sucks, I'm using the Text( function now, but it won't wrap the text, doh.
Sage Orator, solved this problem for me (I had a rudimentary semi-working routine, he got it to work and MUCH faster). Though for the TI-84+'s. If you wish I can post the code for the text wrapping if you wish. Its not for the same calc, however =X.
