Do the basic versions vary?

Hi. First post. Crunching digits all the time, but never paid much attention in Programming - until now. About to start.

But do the different versions of calculators support the same basic language? If i write something in my Fx-5800p, will that work on any programmable Casio calculator? Thanks!

Mostly yes with small differences, sometimes you have to adapt the program due to different or missing commands:

graphic non CAS calculators: the parameters of Locate command is different (fx-5800P has from 1,1 to 16,4; 9860GII and fx-9860GIII has from 1,1 to 21,7 ), some commands are not included, e.g. clrvar or clrmat (missing Matrix/Vector menufor fx-7300 family, fx-7400 family), clrstat in 5800p is clrlist on graphic calc, 

graphic CAS calculators: command Locate is also different, some commands are not included, e.g. Dsz and Isz

Hello Pan-gejt, that sheds some light on the topic. Greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Could someone help me to use the Locate command? I've tried to find it in all my menus to no avail. If I type it in "LOCATE 1,1,"A" then return, I get a syntax error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Should the Locate Command be recognized by my calculators basic interpretor? I can't find in any of my menus. Your assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

The Locate command is part of the programming language of 9750GA. I am not sure if typing commands is the same as calling them from the built-in menu.

According to the UG: While in Program mode press F6 - F4(I/O) - F1(Lcte)

Your example should work: LOCATE 1,1,"A"
