[TIB] Re: data type issue
Hmm.. easiest way I can think of would be to put an if statement in the
program where if the current iteration is some multiple of 10, it prints
the current results and starts on the next 10 without breaking the
increment setup.. I can't seem to find a remainder function on the ti-86
though. I know it's got to have one.. can someone clue me in? Thanks
