My question is pretty simple. I'm trying to make a program which is on a while-loop (not infinite), and I want it to display a value stored in the A variable every time the while loop executes. I can already get it to work with the little triangle button, but then I would have to press the EXE button constantly, which is far from optimal.

 

Alternatively if that is not possible, is there a way I could convert the value to a string and then display the string without pressing EXE? I know if you make a line that is just "STRING" the calculator will print STRING to the screen however many times you want, but this unfortunately does not work with numbers.

If you need it to roll downwards, I got no idea. When I just need to keep an eye on a value though I just do Cls and then use Locate 1,1,N to print the number. Neither command pauses the program. Check how I print the estimated value for π in the code here: http://community.cas...ation-fx-5800p/

@Tritonio I think you mean ClrText, Cls clears the graph screen.

 

Also, to get it to roll down, you can keep a counter var and do something like this (note, it will start from the top again when it reaches the bottom):

 

C>7 => ClrText
C>7 => 1->7
Locate 1,C,<var>

I think you mean

C>7 => ClrText
C>7 => 1->C
Locate 1,C,<var>

1->C instead of 1->7

My fx-5800P has only got Cls and that's all... :-(

 

Also you need to increase C somewhere. :-)

Oh yeah, I guess that's what you get from lack of sleep

Oh ok, maybe the commands changed in later models.

 

And yes, I forgot about that, so the code should actually be like this:

C>7 => ClrText
C>7 => 1->7
Locate 1,C,<var>
Isz C

And.. You failed again with 1->7 Anyway, if you really need it to scroll down 'right', you could still use a list of variables.

But I think that might be a little bit overkill for a simple Casio Basic Program

Thanks! the locate function is pretty much what I wanted, even if it isn't scrolling. Just needed a way to display a number without pressing enter, and it works!

I don't know how I keep doing that
