Here's how to have fun programming your TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-83 Silver Edition calculator.

Hit PRGM.

Select NEW

Name the new program whatever you want. We will use "INFLOOP". When done, hit ENTER.

You will see the program name at top and a colon. Press PRGM, select I/O, scroll to Disp, and hit ENTER.

The screen should now read
PROGRAM:INFLOOP
: Disp

In the space after Disp, write the following EXACTLY: "0101010101010101". That's "01" 8 times.

Press ENTER, press PRGM, select I/O, select Disp. Write "1010101010101010". That's "10" 8 times.

Hit enter, press PRGM, scroll to EXEC, and select prgmINFLOOP. (Or whatever you named it.)

Do the QUIT key-combo to return to the standard screen. Press PRGM, and EXEC prgmINFLOOP.

FUN!

Your calculator has now entered an infinite loop! After it finishes the program you just wrote, it re-executes itself, causing a loop that can only be terminated by either removing the batteries or hitting the ON button.

When was it posted, wigger? It may be *** to you, but I developed this independently of everything, nobody I've known has seen it before, and I don't recall seeing it before.

TI 89 > TI 83 :p


Anyway infinite loops are hardly new news... or post worthy.

Aztec, it just puts it into scientific notation then comes up over and over and over again. What am I doing wrong? Is that what it is supposed to be?

Disp "0101010101010101"

You need the quotes.

lolol guys, make a C++ program and type:


for(;;) {
cout << "PENIS"
}

then run it.
