We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere.
TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it.
Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.
I want to create a shortcut for the hyperbolic functions (sinh, cosh, etc.) so I don't have to go into the catalog every time. I tried creating a program that displays "sinh(" but I can't actually edit it (seems like it executes before I can). Does anyone have an idea on how I can create a shortcut for these functions?
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to do. Can you post the code you're currently using and what you think it should be doing?
On the TI-84, there is this function sinh much like regular sin. However, getting to sinh is a pain since you have to go through the catalog.
I thought that making a program would make it easier to access this function:
:ClrHome
Disp "sinh("
However, when I execute it:
sinh(
Done
-------------------------
This doesn't help because I can't move my cursor to sinh to actually do things with it. I want to be able to use it, for example to graph 2sinh(X), but I can't since the program already executed.
I guess I couldn't really graph it any way but I can keep those functions in y= so it isn't really a problem, but if I want to run a calculation it would be quicker if I could use a shortcut (prgm > SINH)
Unfortunately programs can't just recall a token to the home screen, so what you would like to do isn't possible on the TI-84 (to the best of my knowledge) without some form of assembly program. What you could do is have the sinh( inside the program, and anytime you wanted to run a calculation to edit the program to the equation you want and then to run it.
The other option is to store it to a string like this:
"sinh(→Str0
Then whenever you wanted to use it you could press Rcl [2nd+Sto] -> Vars -> String… [7] -> Str0 [0]
If you want, you can try this.
Program A:
...
"sinh(
Program B, running right after program A:
Str>Equ(Ans,Y1
