Re: Please help w/ first program!!!!1



All languages I know of don't allow it. Whenever a loop is entered, the
calculator has to keep track of it until it reaches the END statement and
leaves the loop. If it doesn't reach that end statement, it gets confused.
In the case of the TI-85, it keeps track of the loop. When that loop is
entered again, it keeps track of it a second time, and so on. Eventually
the memory gets filled up, and the program crashes.

When

Really? I thought most languages would allow this. Which ones don't?
