Total Posts: 2007 | goto math -> Probability menu (farthest right) and select randInt(. Use this coding:
randint(1,4)->X
if x=1
goto 1
if x=2
goto 2
if x=3
goto 3
if x=4
goto 4
Lbl 1
You choose to wrestle a pig
Lbl 2
You win
Lbl 3
You Lose
Lbl 4
You die |

randint(1,4)->X
if x=1
goto 1
if x=2
goto 2
if x=3
goto 3
if x=4
goto 4
Lbl 1
You choose to wrestle a pig
Goto 9
Lbl 2
You win
Goto 9
Lbl 3
You Lose
Goto 9
Lbl 4
You die
Lbl 9
It's so much easier to do
randint(1,4)->X
if x=1
Then
You choose to wrestle a pig
End
if x=2
Then
You win
End
if x=3
Then
You Lose
End
if x=4
Then
You die
End
There's no need to go jumping places when you can do what you need to do RIGHT THERE. |

Total Posts: 2007 | actually, there is. WHat if you wanted to jump to those blocks of code from somewhere else in the prog w/out using the randint( part? then my idea works best. Also, i personally dont like If...Then...End statements on the 83+ cause i always wind up putting the end in the wrong place. |

And if you have no need of jumping to those bits of code from elsewhere? That's right. Your version has no advantage and needlessly complicates things.

Well now, that's your problem, isn't it? Don't project it onto other people. |

Total Posts: 122 | If/Then/Else/End is very necessary if you want to do any programming worthwhile in TI-Basic.
And...
\\You choose to wrestle a pig.
RandInt(1,3)->A
If A=1
Disp "YOU WIN!"
If A=2
Disp "YOU LOSE!"
If A=3
Disp "YOU TIE!"
You only need If, no Then or End, if there is only one command following that If.
Btw, Lbl/Goto is VERY slow, because it forces the assembling subroutine to search every line of code for the Lbl. For infinite program loops, always use:
Repeat 0 (While 1 works just as well)
\\code to be repeated
End

Total Posts: 2007 | No need to attack me, Ray. i just think lbl/goto is better. also, lbl/goto allows for cycling which saves space in your mem and wear on your buttons. |

But In certain situations, it can save RAM however.... |

Total Posts: 310 | As allynfolksjr said, only in certain situtations. It really depends on the code as to what methods are best. You can't say Gotos are better in all situations any more than you can say If/Thens are better in all situations. |
