Time checking?
So, I want to write a program (TI-84+) that tells me when the next bell is (in school). All it would do is check the time to determine what period it is currently, and display the time of the next bell. However, I don't know how to make a program check the time; I would also like it to check what day of the week it is, because the bells are different on Tuesdays.
So, I just need to know how to get the time, or perhaps store the time as a variable.
Thanks, arigatou, gracias, merci, etc.

use getTime, you can find it in the catalog
getTime returns a list {Hours, Minutes, Seconds}
you can store that to any list. Then use it in your program.
well, being a high school teacher, i thought it was a good challenge.
Yea, you can see that I could have simplified some fractions, done with some parenthesis', and maybe made it shorter. But I am a math teacher, and mathematicians are inherantly LAZY... so sue me. But it works! And that was a fun little project.

is it because i got a ti-83+? or i need to download it. plz help
That's your problem
the 83 series don't have a clock and therefore don't have time related keys. The 84, 84+, and 84+SE all have clock and timer. Mr Larkins is using a 84 of some sort, and for you, you'd have to first insert the day of the week, and the current time for it to work at all. Also for someone to make this program, you'd have to post the bell schedule, so we can program it in.
