Re: HELP! Ti-92 Programming Challenge.



Okidokie - try this:


There's this funky little thing called the induction operator ( # )  What
this does is take a string, or a string variable, and convert the value of
that string to a variable name.


test()
Prgm
local class
Dialog
Request "Enter Class Name",class
EndDlog
newList(2)/sto/#class
5/sto/#class[1]
Disp #class
EndPrgm


As predicted, this program will output 5.  Now the question might arise ...
"well how do i keep track of the list names?" ... answer= keep an array of
strings, where each string is one of the names of the classes.


Hope this helps ...
