factor(rationalNumber) returns the rational
number factored into primes. For
composite numbers, the computing time
grows exponentially with the number of
digits in the second-largest factor. For
example, factoring a 30-digit integer could
take more than a day, and factoring a 100-
digit number could take more than a
century.

assigns the value to variable var.
The value must be requested:
In advance, through a Send"READ..."
command.
—or—
By embedding a "READ..." request as
the optional promptString argument.
This method lets you use a single
command to request the value and
retrieve it.
Example: Request the currentvalue of the

retrieve the value and assign it to variable
lightval.
Embed the READ request within the Get
command.

Implicit simplification takes place. For
example, a received string of "123" is
interpreted as a numeric value. To preserve
the string, use GetStr instead of Get.
If you include the optional argument
statusVar, it is assigned a value based on
the success of the operation. A value of
zero means that no data was received.
In the second syntax, the func() argument
allows a program to store the received
string as a function definition. This syntax
operates as if the program executed the
command:
Define func(arg1, ...argn) = received
string
The program can then use the defined
function func().

a user-defined program but not within a
function.

If an element of BooleanExpr evaluates
to true, returns the corresponding

omit Value_If_false, returns undef.
If an element of BooleanExpr is neither
true nor false, returns the corresponding
element Value_If_unknown. If you omit
Value_If_unknown, returns undef.
If the second, third, or fourth argument

every position in BooleanExpr.
Note: If the simplified BooleanExpr
statement involves a list or matrix, all other
list or matrix arguments must have the

This function does the following:
Given xList, yList=f(xList), and

function f, a cubic interpolant is used to
approximate the function f at xValue. It is
assumed that xList is a list of
monotonically increasing or decreasing
numbers, but this function may return a
value even when it is not. This function
walks through xList looking for an interval
[xList[i], xList[i+1]] that contains xValue.

nDerivative()

Note: The nDerivative() algorithm has a
limitiation: it works recursively through the
unsimplified expression, computing the
numeric value of the first derivative (and
second, if applicable) and the evaluation of
each subexpression, which may lead to an
unexpected result.
Consider the example on the right. The first
derivative of x(x^2+x)^(1/3) at x=0 is equal
to 0. However, because the first derivative
of the subexpression (x^2+x)^(1/3) is
undefined at x=0, and this value is used to
calculate the derivative of the total
expression, nDerivative() reports the result
as undefined and displays a warning
message.

Programming command: Pauses the
program and displays a dialog box
containing the message promptString and
an input box for the user’s response.
When the user types a response and clicks
OK, the contents of the input box are
assigned to variable var.
If the user clicks Cancel, the program
proceeds without accepting any input. The
program uses the previous value of var if
var was already defined.
The optional DispFlag argument can be
any expression.
If DispFlag is omitted or evaluates to 1,
the prompt message and user’s response
are displayed in the Calculator history.
If DispFlag evaluates to 0, the prompt
and response are not displayed in the
history.

The optional statusVar argument gives the
program a way to determine how the user
dismissed the dialog box. Note that
statusVar requires the DispFlag argument.
If the user clicked OK or pressed Enter or
Ctrl+Enter, variable statusVar is set to a
value of 1.
Otherwise, variable statusVar is set to a
value of 0.
The func() argument allows a program to
store the user’s response as a function
definition. This syntax operates as if the
user executed the command:
Define func(arg1, ...argn) = user’s
response
The program can then use the defined
function func(). The promptString should
guide the user to enter an appropriate
user’sresponse that completes the
function definition.

shift(Integer1[,#ofShifts]) integer
Shifts the bits in a binary integer. You can
enter Integer1 in any number base; it is
converted automatically to a signed, 64-bit
binary form. If the magnitude of Integer1 is
too large for this form, a symmetric modulo
operation brings it within the range. For

If #ofShifts is positive, the shift is to the
left. If #ofShifts is negative, the shift is to
the right. The default is 1 (shift right one
bit).
In a right shift, the rightmost bit is dropped
and 0 or 1 is inserted to match the leftmost
bit. In a left shift, the leftmost bit is
dropped and 0 is inserted as the rightmost
bit.
For example, in a right shift:
Each bit shifts right.
0b0000000000000111101011000011010
Inserts 0 if leftmost bit is 0,
or 1 if leftmost bit is 1.

Iterations is a value that specifies the
maximum number of times (1 through 16) a
solution will be attempted. If omitted, 8 is
used. Typically, larger values result in better
accuracy but longer execution times, and
vice versa.
Period specifies an estimated period. If
omitted, the difference between values in X
should be equal and in sequential order. If
you specify Period, the differences between
x values can be unequal.
Category is a list of numeric or string
category codes for the corresponding X and

Integer1 xor Integer2 integer
Compares two real integers bit-by-bit using
an xor operation. Internally, both integers
are converted to signed, 64-bit binary
numbers. When corresponding bits are
compared, the result is 1 if either bit (but
not both) is 1; the result is 0 if both bits are
0 or both bits are 1. The returned value
represents the bit results, and is displayed
according to the Base mode.
You can enter the integers in any number
base. For a binary or hexadecimal entry, you
must use the 0b or 0h prefix, respectively.
Without a prefix, integers are treated as
decimal (base10).
If you enter a decimal integer that is too
large for a signed, 64-bit binary form, a
symmetric modulo operation is used to
bring the value into the appropriate range.
For more information, see Base2, page
16.
Note: See or, page 108.
In Hex base mode:
Important: Zero, not the letter O.
In Bin base mode:
Note: A binary entry can have upto 64 digits
(not counting the 0bprefix). A hexadecimal
entry canhave up to 16 digits.

d() (derivative)
Catalog >

value
d(Expr1, Var[, Order]) value
d(List1, Var[, Order]) list
d(Matrix1, Var[, Order]) matrix
Except when using the first syntax, you
must store a numeric value in variable Var
before evaluating d(). Refer to the
examples.
d() can be used for calculating first and
second order derivative at a point
numerically, using auto differentiation
methods.
Order, if included, must be=1 or 2. The
default is 1.
Note: You can insert this function from the
keyboard by typing derivative(...).
Note: See also Firstderivative, page 5 or
Secondderivative, page 5.
Note: The d() algorithm has a limitation: it
works recursively through the unsimplified
expression, computing the numeric value of
the first derivative (and second, if
applicable) and the evaluation of each
subexpression, which may lead to an
unexpected result.
Consider the example on the right. The first
derivative of x(x^2+x)^(1/3) at x=0 is equal
to 0. However, because the first derivative
of the subexpression (x^2+x)^(1/3) is
undefined at x=0, and this value is used to
calculate the derivative of the total
expression, d() reports the result as
undefined and displays a warning message.
If you encounter this limitation, verify the
solution graphically. You can also try using
centralDiff().

Expr | BooleanExpr1[orBooleanExpr2]...
The constraint (“|”) symbol serves as a
binary operator. The operand to the left of |
is an expression. The operand to the right of
| specifies one or more relations that are
intended to affect the simplification of the
expression. Multiple relations after | must
be joined by logical and or or operators.
The constraint operator provides three basic
types of functionality:
Substitutions
Interval constraints
Symbols 193
194 Symbols
| (constraint operator)
/k keys
Exclusions
Substitutions are in the form of an equality,
such as x=3 or y=sin(x). To be most
effective, the left side should be a simple
variable. Expr | Variable = value will
substitute value for every occurrence of
Variable in Expr.
Interval constraints take the form of one or
more inequalities joined by logical and or
or operators. Interval constraints also
permit simplification that otherwise might
be invalid or not computable.
Exclusions use the “not equals (/= or )
relational operator to exclude a specific
value from consideration.

TI-Nspire™ CX II - Draw Commands
This is a supplemental document for the TI-Nspire™ Reference Guide and the TI-
Nspire™ CAS Reference Guide. All TI-Nspire™ CX II commands will be incorporated and
published in version 5.1 of the TI-Nspire™ Reference Guide and the TI-Nspire™ CAS
Reference Guide.
Graphics Programming
New commands have been added on TI-Nspire™ CX II Handhelds and TI-Nspire™
desktop applications for graphics programming.
The TI-Nspire™ CX II Handhelds will switch into this graphics mode while executing
graphics commands and switch back to the context in which the program was executed
after completion of the program.
The screen will display “Running…” in the top bar while the program is being executed.
It will show “Finished” when the program completes. Any key-press will transition the
system out of the graphics mode.
The transition to graphics mode is triggered automatically when one of the Draw
(graphics) commands is encountered during execution of the TI Basic program.
This transition will only happen when executing a program from calculator; in a
document or calculator in scratchpad.
The transition out of graphics mode happens upon termination of the program.
The graphics mode is only available on the TI-Nspire™ CX II Handhelds and the
desktop TI-Nspire™ CX II Handhelds view. This means it is not available in the
computer document view or PublishView (.tnsp) on the desktop nor on iOS.
- If a graphics command is encountered while executing a TI Basic program from
the incorrect context, an error message is displayed and the TI Basic program is
terminated.
Graphics Screen
The graphics screen will contain a header at the top of the screen that cannot be
written to by graphics commands.
The graphics screen drawing area will be cleared (color = 255,255,255) when the
graphics screen is initialized.

Default drawing color: Black (0,0,0)
Default pen style - normal, smooth
- Thickness: 1 (thin), 2 (normal), 3 (thickest)
- Style: 1 (smooth), 2 (dotted), 3 (dashed)
All drawing commands will use the current color and pen settings; either default
values or those which were set via TI-Basic commands.
Text font is fixed and cannot be changed.
Any output to the graphics screen will be drawn within a clipping window which is
the size of the graphics screen drawing area. Any drawn output that extends
outside of this clipped graphics screen drawing area will not be drawn. No error
message will be displayed.
All x,y coordinates specified for drawing commands are defined such that 0,0 is at
the top left corner of the graphics screen drawing area.
- Exceptions:
- DrawText uses the coordinates as the bottom left corner of the bounding
box for the text.
- SetWindow uses the bottom left corner of the screen
All parameters for the commands can be provided as expressions that evaluate to
a number which is then rounded to the nearest integer.
Graphics Screen Errors Messages
If the validation fails, an error message will display.
Error Message Description

one or more arguments
Error
Too many
arguments
The function or command contains

212 Empty (Void) Elements
Empty (Void) Elements
When analyzing real-world data, you might not always have a complete data set.
TI-Nspire™ Software allows empty, or void, data elements so you can proceed with the
nearly complete data rather than having to start over or discard the incomplete cases.
You can find an example of data involving empty elements in the Lists & Spreadsheet
chapter, under Graphing spreadsheet data.”
The delVoid() function lets you remove empty elements from a list. The isVoid()
function lets you test for an empty element. For details, see delVoid(), page 39, and
isVoid(), page 75.
Note: To enter an empty element manually in a math expression, type “_” or the
keyword void. The keyword void is automatically converted to a “_” symbol when
the expression is evaluated. To type “_” on the handheld, press / _.
Calculations involving void elements
The majority of calculations involving a void
input will produce a void result. See special
cases below.
List arguments containing void elements
The following functions and commands
ignore (skip) void elements found in list
arguments.
count, countIf, cumulativeSum,
freqTablelist, frequency, max, mean,
median, product, stDevPop, stDevSamp,
sum, sumIf, varPop, and varSamp, as well as
regression calculations, OneVar, TwoVar,
and FiveNumSummary statistics, confidence
intervals, and stat tests
SortA and SortD move all void elements
within the first argument to the bottom.
List arguments containing void elements
In regressions, a void in an X or Y list
introduces a void for the corresponding
element of the residual.
An omitted category in regressions
introduces a void for the corresponding
element of the residual.
A frequency of 0 in regressions introduces a
void for the corresponding element of the
residual.

Shortcuts for Entering Math Expressions
Shortcuts let you enter elements of math expressions by typing instead of using the
Catalog or Symbol Palette. For example, to enter the expression 6, you can type sqrt
(6) on the entry line. When you press ·, the expression sqrt(6) is changed to
6. Some shortcuts are useful from both the handheld and the computer keyboard.
Others are useful primarily from the computer keyboard.

216 EOS (Equation Operating System) Hierarchy
EOS (Equation Operating System) Hierarchy
This section describes the Equation Operating System (EOS) that is used by the
TI-Nspire™ math and science learning technology. Numbers, variables, and functions
are entered in a simple, straightforward sequence. EOS software evaluates
expressions and equations using parenthetical grouping and according to the priorities
described below.
Order of Evaluation
Level Operator
1 Parentheses (), brackets [], braces {}
2 Indirection (#)
3 Function calls
4 Post operators: degrees-minutes-seconds (°,',"), factorial (!), percentage
(%), radian (
r
), subscript ([]), transpose (
T
)
5 Exponentiation, power operator (^)
6 Negation ()
7 String concatenation (&)
8 Multiplication (), division (/)
9 Addition (+), subtraction (-)
10 Equality relations: equal (=), not equal ( or /=),
less than (<), less than or equal ( or <=), greater than (>), greater than or
equal (or>=)
11 Logical not
12 Logical and
13 Logical or
14 xor, nor, nand
15 Logical implication ( )
16 Logical double implication, XNOR ( )
17 Constraint operator (“|”)
18 Store ()
Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces
All calculations inside a pair of parentheses, brackets, or braces are evaluated first. For
example, in the expression 4(1+2), EOS software first evaluates the portion of the
expression inside the parentheses, 1+2, and then multiplies the result, 3, by 4.
The number of opening and closing parentheses, brackets, and braces must be the
same within an expression or equation. If not, an error message is displayed that
indicates the missing element. For example, (1+2)/(3+4 will display the error message
“Missing ).”
Note: Because the TI-Nspire™ software allows you to define your own functions, a
variable name followed by an expression in parentheses is considered a “function call
instead of implied multiplication. For example a(b+c) is the function a evaluated by
b+c. To multiply the expression b+c by the variable a, use explicit multiplication: a
(b+c).
Indirection
The indirection operator (#) converts a string to a variable or function name. For
example, #(“x”&”y”&”z”) creates the variable name xyz. Indirection also allows the
creation and modification of variables from inside a program. For example, if 10r
and “r”s1, then #s1=10.
Post Operators
Post operators are operators that come directly after an argument, such as 5!, 25%, or
60°15' 45". Arguments followed by a post operator are evaluated at the fourth priority
level. For example, in the expression 4^3!, 3! is evaluated first. The result, 6, then
becomes the exponent of 4 to yield 4096.
Exponentiation
Exponentiation (^) and element-by-element exponentiation (.^) are evaluated from
right to left. For example, the expression 2^3^2 is evaluated the same as 2^(3^2) to
produce 512. This is different from (2^3)^2, which is 64.
Negation
To enter a negative number, press v followed by the number. Post operations and
exponentiation are performed before negation. For example, the result of x
2
is a
negative number, and 9
2
= 81. Use parentheses to square a negative number such
as (9)
2
to produce 81.
Constraint (“|)
The argument following the constraint (“|”) operator provides a set of constraints that
affect the evaluation of the argument preceding the operator.

TI-Nspire CX II - TI-Basic Programming Features
Auto-indentation in Programming Editor
The TI-Nspire™ program editor now auto-indents statements inside a block command.
Block commands are If/EndIf, For/EndFor, While/EndWhile, Loop/EndLoop, Try/EndTry
The editor will automatically prepend spaces to program commands inside a block
command. The closing command of the block will be aligned with the opening
command.
The example below shows auto-indentation in nested block commands.
Code fragments that are copied and pasted will retain the original indentation.
Opening a program created in an earlier version of the software will retain the original
indentation.

Error Codes and Messages
When an error occurs, its code is assigned to variable errCode. User-defined programs
and functions can examine errCode to determine the cause of an error. For an
example of using errCode, See Example 2 under the Try command, page 158.
Note: Some error conditions apply only to TI-Nspire™CAS products, and some apply
only to TI-Nspire™ products.
Error
code
Description
10 A function did not return a value
20 A test didnot resolve to TRUE or FALSE.
Generally, undefined variables cannot be compared. For example, the test If a<b will cause
this error if either a or b is undefined when the If statement is executed.
30 Argument cannot be a folder name.
40 Argument error
50 Argument mismatch
Two or more arguments mustbe of the same type.
60 Argument must be a Boolean expression or integer
70 Argument must be a decimal number
90 Argument must be a list
100 Argument mustbe a matrix
130 Argument mustbe a string
140 Argument mustbe a variable name.
Make sure that the name:
does not begin with a digit
does not contain spaces or special characters
does not use underscore or period in invalid manner
does not exceed the length limitations

190 Circular definition
This message is displayed to avoid running out of memory during infinite replacement of
variable values during simplification. For example, a+1->a, where a is an undefined variable,
will cause this error.
200 Constraint expression invalid
For example, solve(3x^2-4=0,x) | x<0 or x>5 would produce this error message because the
constraintis separated by “or” instead of “and.”
210 Invalid Data type
An argument is of the wrong data type.
220 Dependentlimit
230 Dimension
A listor matrix index is not valid. For example, if the list{1,2,3,4} is stored in L1, then L1[5] is a
dimension error because L1 only contains four elements.
235 Dimension Error. Not enough elements inthe lists.
240 Dimension mismatch
Two or more arguments mustbe of the same dimension. For example, [1,2]+[1,2,3] is a
dimension mismatch because the matrices contain a different number of elements.
250 Divide by zero
260 Domain error
An argument mustbe ina specified domain. For example, rand(0) is not valid.
270 Duplicate variable name
280 Else andElseIf invalid outside of If...EndIf block
