Hello guys,

Pause command is presented in fx-4850P or earlier calculators. However, it disappeared in fx-5800P.

I summerised the usage of it:

Pause(n), where n=0-9
Usage: output results - wait (n*0.5) seconds - continue
Example:
While A≠10:
   A+1➔A:
   Pause(2):
WhileEnd
It shows A value increasing by 1 per second until A=10.

Is there any workaround of it?

Thanks!

You could always just do a ton of calculations that will take the amount of time that you want to wait. That won't be very battery friendly, but it will work. You could even make a subroutine for it, with an equation that takes half a second to solve and then you just call it a bunch of times

Well, I have to try every calculations it has. But anyway thanks for giving suggestions!

I used the Getkey function nested in a do... While loop that it waits into user activates a specific key to move on in the program.

Ideally, write this into a separate program and call it using
PROG "GETKEY"

To be honest, I know Locate and Getkey can make some part of procedure of Pause command, but they can't be made as same as Pause command since Pause command can automatically move on after an exact time.

I think Locate/Getkey pair and Pause have their benefits:
Locate/Getkey: useful for user interactions
Pause: can wait for exact time, no need to press anything
