Welcome to Cemetech, CalicoZac; good to have you with us. Feel free to Introduce Yourself when you get a chance, and let us know if you need any resources for your calculator programming other than TI-BASIC help. Anyway, to answer your question. The only things that you can subscript are lists and matrices. Unfortunately, I can't copy-and-paste the explanations of the two out of my books, where I think I did a decent job of explaining them, but here's what you need to know about lists:
- Lists are ordered sets of numbers like {2,5,100} or {5,-1,2.444,8,1,0}.
- Lists on your calculator can be at most 999 elements
- There are lists L1-L6, and custom lists with names between 1 and 5 characters, like LN, LHELLO, LM5, or LHS.
- You access individual elements of a list with parenthetical subscripts, such as 5->LN(1) or LN(4) to respectively store 5 to the first element of LN or get the value of the fourth element of LN.
- You create or resize lists using the dim( command. 5->dim(LN) will make LN hold five numbers. dim(LN) by itself will return the size of the list.
Hope this helps.
