TI 89/92/V200 BASIC question - Jeff_Birt - 12-01-2023 07:54 PM
As I have been playing with my V200 again one thing that struck me was the seeming lack of a way to have an input prompt and entry on same line, i.e.
Code:
Input"Value?",xResults in: (pipe represents flashing cursor)
Value?
|
This seems absurd to me but perhaps I'm missing something? The comma seems to be only valid separator.

I believe your observation regarding the Input command is correct, and is one of the few things that annoy me about the otherwise-great TI-92 Basic. You can, however, build a dialog box with multiple input fields, and prompt text directly to the left of each field. This also gives you the ability to provide default values for each field, so I rarely use Input.

Dave is right. The command: request "value",x
is the better option.

Thanks, I will try using a dialog box and see how that works.
