Running an Assembly Language Program
An assembly language program is a program that runs much faster and has greater control
of the calculator than the regular programs described in this chapter. You can download
and run TI-created assembly language programs to add features to your TI
-
86 that are not
built in. For example, you can download the TI
-
83 finance or inferential statistics features
to use on your TI
-
86.
