no-stub
Describes an assembly or C program which can (or must) be run without a shell. I have suggested that
programs which are not no-stub be called 'stubby' programs, but this hasn't caught on. The term
no-stub comes from the C source code directive which results in object code not requiring shell
support.
numeric
Used to describe operations on number, as opposed to operations on symbols. See also symbolic.
on-line store
The TI web page (http://epsstore.ti.com/) where you can download software including AMS versions,
the GraphLink software, and free and for-pay applications. You can also buy some calculators and
accessories.
order of operations
Operation priority is specified by the operating system. The priorities are
1. Parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces { }
2. Indirection (#)
3. Function calls
4. Post operators: degrees-minutes-seconds (°,',"), factorial (!), percentage (%), radian (),
subscript ([ ]), transpose ( )
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 or equal (≥ or >=)
11. Logical not
12. Logical and
13. Logical or, exclusive logical xor
14. Constraint “with” operator (|)
15. Store (→)
over-clock
A modification to the calculator processor clock circuit which increases the operating frequency and
therefore increases the calculator operating speed. Since the TI-89 / TI-92 Plus clock speed is set with
a capacitor, over-clocking involves replacing the capacitor with one of smaller value. Over-clocking
voids the warrantee and reduces battery life. If taken to extremes, over-clocking can also cause faulty
operation, crashes and GraphLink transmission problems.
parameter
A constant which controls the operation of a function or feature. Most often refers to the settings in the
Window screen, which controls the appearance of graphs. Sometimes also used to mean argument.
paste See cut, copy, paste
PC
Acronym for personal computer. Usually refers to an IBM-compatible computer, unless Apple
computers are specifically mentioned.
