• In advance, through a Send "READ ..."command.

— or —

Example: Request the current value of thehub's built-in light-level sensor. UseGet toretrieve the value andassign it to variablelightval.

Embed the READ requestwithin theGetcommand.

Get Hub Menu• By embedding a "READ ..." request as

the optional promptString argument.This method lets you use a singlecommand to request the value andretrieve it.

Implicit simplification takes place. Forexample, a received string of "123" isinterpreted as a numeric value. To preservethe string, use GetStr instead of Get.

If you include the optional argumentstatusVar, it is assigned a value based onthe success of the operation. A value ofzero means that no data was received.

In the second syntax, the func() argumentallows a program to store the receivedstring as a function definition. This syntaxoperates as if the program executed thecommand:

     Define func(arg1, ...argn) = receivedstring

The program can then use the definedfunction func().

Note: You can use the Get command withina user-defined program but not within afunction.

ifFn() Catalog >ifFn(BooleanExpr,Value_If_true [,Value_If_false [,Value_If_unknown]]) ⇒expression, list, or matrix

Evaluates the boolean expressionBooleanExpr (or each element fromBooleanExpr ) and produces a result basedon the following rules:

• BooleanExpr can test a single value, alist, or a matrix.

• If an element of BooleanExpr evaluatesto true, returns the correspondingelement from Value_If_true.

• If an element of BooleanExpr evaluatesto false, returns the correspondingelement from Value_If_false. If youomit Value_If_false, returns undef.

• If an element of BooleanExpr is neithertrue nor false, returns the correspondingelement Value_If_unknown. If you omitValue_If_unknown, returns undef.

• If the second, third, or fourth argumentof the ifFn() function is a singleexpression, the Boolean test is applied toevery position in BooleanExpr.

Note: If the simplified BooleanExprstatement involves a list or matrix, all otherlist or matrix arguments must have thesame dimension(s), and the result will havethe same dimension(s).

Test value of 1 is less than2.5, so itscorresponding

Value_If_True element of 5 is copied tothe result list.

Test value of 2 is less than2.5, so itscorresponding

Value_If_True element of 6 is copied tothe result list.

Test value of 3 is not less than2.5, so itscorresponding Value_If_False element of10 is copied to the result list.

Value_If_true is a single value andcorresponds to any selectedposition.

Value_If_false is not specified. Undef isused.

Optionally, any matrix element is treated aszero if its absolute value is less than Tol.This tolerance is used only if the matrix hasfloating-point entries and does not containany symbolic variables that have not beenassigned a value. Otherwise, Tol is ignored.

• If you use/· or set the Auto orApproximate mode to Approximate,computations are done using floating-point arithmetic.

• If Tol is omitted or not used, the defaulttolerance is calculated as:5E⁻14•max(dim(Matrix))•rowNorm(Matrix)

Integer1 xor Integer2⇒ integer

Compares two real integers bit-by-bit usingan xor operation. Internally, both integersare converted to signed, 64-bit binarynumbers. When corresponding bits arecompared, the result is 1 if either bit (butnot both) is 1; the result is 0 if both bits are0 or both bits are 1. The returned valuerepresents the bit results, and is displayedaccording to the Base mode.

You can enter the integers in any numberbase. For a binary or hexadecimal entry, youmust use the 0b or 0h prefix, respectively.Without a prefix, integers are treated asdecimal (base 10).

If you enter a decimal integer that is toolarge for a signed, 64-bit binary form, asymmetric modulo operation is used tobring the value into the appropriate range.For more information, see►Base2, page16.

Note: See or, page 107.

d() (derivative) Catalog >d(Expr1, Var[, Order]) | Var=Value⇒value

d(Expr1, Var[, Order]) ⇒ value

d(List1, Var[, Order]) ⇒ list

d(Matrix1, Var[, Order]) ⇒ matrix

Except when using the first syntax, youmust store a numeric value in variable Varbefore evaluating d(). Refer to theexamples.

d() can be used for calculating first andsecond order derivative at a pointnumerically, using auto differentiationmethods.

Order, if included, must be=1 or 2. Thedefault is 1.

Note: You can insert this function from thekeyboard by typing derivative(...).

Note: See also First derivative,  page 5 orSecond derivative,  page 5.

Note: The d() algorithm has a limitation: itworks recursively through the unsimplifiedexpression, computing the numeric value ofthe first derivative (and second, ifapplicable) and the evaluation of eachsubexpression, which may lead to anunexpected result.

Consider the example on the right. The firstderivative of x•(x^2+x)^(1/3) at x=0 is equalto 0. However, because the first derivativeof the subexpression (x^2+x)^(1/3) isundefined at x=0, and this value is used tocalculate the derivative of the totalexpression, d() reports the result asundefined and displays a warning message.

If you encounter this limitation, verify thesolution graphically. You can also try usingcentralDiff().

| (constraint operator) /k keysExpr | BooleanExpr1[andBooleanExpr2]...

Expr | BooleanExpr1[ orBooleanExpr2]...

The constraint (“|”) symbol serves as abinary operator. The operand to the left of |is an expression. The operand to the right of| specifies one or more relations that areintended to affect the simplification of theexpression. Multiple relations after | mustbe joined by logical “and” or “or” operators.

The constraint operator provides three basictypes of functionality:

• Substitutions• Interval constraints

| (constraint operator) /k keys• Exclusions

Substitutions are in the form of an equality,such as x=3 or y=sin(x). To be mosteffective, the left side should be a simplevariable. Expr | Variable = value willsubstitute value for every occurrence ofVariable in Expr.Interval constraints take the form of one ormore inequalities joined by logical “and” or“or” operators. Interval constraints alsopermit simplification that otherwise mightbe invalid or not computable.

Exclusions use the “not equals” (/= or ≠)relational operator to exclude a specificvalue from consideration.

Empty (Void) ElementsWhen 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 thenearly 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 & Spreadsheetchapter, 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 38, andisVoid(), page 74.

Note: To enter an empty element manually in a math expression, type “_” or thekeyword void. The keyword void is automatically converted to a “_” symbol whenthe expression is evaluated. To type “_” on the handheld, press/_.

Calculations involving void elementsThe majority of calculations involving a voidinput will produce a void result. See specialcases below.

List arguments containing void elementsThe following functions and commandsignore (skip) void elements found in listarguments.

count, countIf, cumulativeSum,freqTable►list, frequency, max, mean,median, product, stDevPop, stDevSamp,sum, sumIf, varPop, and varSamp, as well asregression calculations, OneVar, TwoVar,and FiveNumSummary statistics, confidenceintervals, and stat tests

SortA and SortDmove all void elementswithin the first argument to the bottom.

List arguments containing void elements

In regressions, a void in an X or Y listintroduces a void for the correspondingelement of the residual.

An omitted category in regressionsintroduces a void for the correspondingelement of the residual.

A frequency of 0 in regressions introduces avoid for the corresponding element of theresidual.

198 Shortcuts for Entering Math Expressions

Shortcuts for Entering Math ExpressionsShortcuts let you enter elements of math expressions by typing instead of using theCatalog 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.

200 EOS™ (Equation Operating System) Hierarchy

EOS™ (Equation Operating System) HierarchyThis section describes the Equation Operating System (EOS™) that is used by theTI-Nspire™ math and science learning technology. Numbers, variables, and functionsare entered in a simple, straightforward sequence. EOS™ software evaluatesexpressions and equations using parenthetical grouping and according to the prioritiesdescribed 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 orequal (≥ 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. Forexample, in the expression 4(1+2), EOS™ software first evaluates the portion of theexpression inside the parentheses, 1+2, and then multiplies the result, 3, by 4.

Page 205: TI-Nspire™ReferenceGuide...decimal(base 10).Theresultisdisplayedin binary,regardlessoftheBasemode. Negativenumbersaredisplayedin“two's complement”form.Forexample, ⁻1 isdisplayedas

The number of opening and closing parentheses, brackets, and braces must be thesame within an expression or equation. If not, an error message is displayed thatindicates 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, avariable 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 byb+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. Forexample, #(“x”&”y”&”z”) creates the variable name xyz. Indirection also allows thecreation and modification of variables from inside a program. For example, if 10→rand “r”→s1, then #s1=10.

Post Operators

Post operators are operators that come directly after an argument, such as 5!, 25%, or60°15' 45". Arguments followed by a post operator are evaluated at the fourth prioritylevel. For example, in the expression 4^3!, 3! is evaluated first. The result, 6, thenbecomes the exponent of 4 to yield 4096.

Exponentiation

Exponentiation (^) and element-by-element exponentiation (.^) are evaluated fromright to left. For example, the expression 2^3^2 is evaluated the same as 2^(3^2) toproduce 512. This is different from (2^3)^2, which is 64.

Negation

To enter a negative number, pressv followed by the number. Post operations andexponentiation are performed before negation. For example, the result of −x2 is anegative number, and −92 = −81. Use parentheses to square a negative number suchas (−9)2 to produce 81.

Constraint (“|”)

The argument following the constraint (“|”) operator provides a set of constraints thataffect the evaluation of the argument preceding the operator.
