Re: TIB: Storing an expr w/o evaluating it (for TI-92)
I don't know if I understand you correctly, but you could do something like
this on the 89/92/+
:INP()
:Prgm
:Local arp
...
:2->x
...
:InputStr "Input?",arp
:expr(arp)->newvar
...
:EndPrgm
So if arp="x+3" then newvar=5 and the arp var will not exist when you break
or exit your program.
