TI-Basic 84 Programming/Test Conditions and Logical Operators
Nota Bene: The TI 83/84 uses any nonzero number to represent true (most often it is 1) and zero to represent false.
Test ConditionsEdit
Test Conditions are used to compare different values and form the basis of Conditional Functions.
EqualEdit
=, TEST:TEST:1 returns true if two input values are equal and false if not equal.
SyntaxEdit
:Value 1 = Value 2
- Where Value 1 and Value 2 are both variables of the same type.
ExampleEdit
- 0→X
- If X=0
- Disp "True"
prgmTEMP True
Not EqualEdit
≠, TEST:TEST:2 returns true if two input values are not equal and false if they are equal.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
See Equal
Greater ThanEdit
>, TEST:TEST:3 returns true if first input value is larger than second input value and false if it is less than or equal.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
See Equal
Greater Than or Equal ToEdit
≥, TEST:TEST:4 returns true if the first input value is larger than or equal to the second value and false if it is greater than.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
See Equal
Less ThanEdit
<, TEST:TEST:5 returns true if the first input value is smaller than the second and returns false if it is greater than or equal to.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
See Equal
Less Than or Equal ToEdit
≤, TEST:TEST:6 returns true if the first input value is smaller than or equal to the second input value and returns false if it is greater than.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
See Equal
Logical OperatorsEdit
Logical Operators help combine multiple boolean valued statements into one.
AndEdit
In order for an "and" conditional function evaluate to true, both parts of the statement have to be true or else it returns false.
SyntaxEdit
and, TEST:LOGIC:1
:Boolean 1 and Boolean 2
- Where Boolean 1 and Boolean 2 are both expressions that can be evaluated to true or false.
ExampleEdit
- 0→X
- 1→Y
- If X=0 and Y=1
- Disp "TRUE"
prgmTEMP TRUE
OrEdit
In order for an "or" conditional function to evaluate to true, at least one of the parts of the statement have to be true or else it returns false.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
or, TEST:LOGIC:2
See And
XOrEdit
In order for an "xor" conditional function to evaluate to true, exactly one of the values has to be true. If both of the values are true or false it evaluates to false.
Syntax and ExampleEdit
xor, TEST:LOGIC:3
See And
NotEdit
The "not" operator is a little different from the others, it only takes one value and it evaluates to the opposite.
SyntaxEdit
not(, TEST:LOGIC:4
:not(valueA)
- valueA can be almost anything. It can be a single number since numbers represent true and false, or it can be a boolean expression that evaluates to true or false.
ExampleEdit
- 0→X
- If not(X≠0)
- Disp "X DOES NOT NOT EQUAL ZERO"
prgmTEMP X DOES NOT NOT EQUAL ZERO
