I'm having a very strange problem on my calculator. A certain string of operations doesn't work on a program; every time I run it, it yields a data type error. I don't think it's an actual data type e

Here is the string: :If Z=Y <-- Pressing Goto at the error throws me here :Then :Disp Z :Else If this problem wasn't asinine enough, trying to type in Z=Y in the calculator after I run the buggy program also yields a data type error. After running the program that runs just fine, typing Z=Y yields no error.

Make sure Z and Y are not defined as a variable in the flash memory, use the command to CLRVAR: Z,Y in your program.

SOURCE: Calculating out npv and irr

Use the "FINANCE" app:

[APPS] [1] [ENTER]

for npv: select "7:NPV"
now you should get "npv(" on your screen.
use: npv(interest rate, cost {cash flows}, {frequencies of cash flows})


for irr: select "8: irr"
"irr(" will come up.
use: irr(interest rate, cost {cash flows}, {frequencies of cash flows})

SOURCE: Unable to get any response other than syntax error

Push the button that says "2nd", then push the number "0". This will reset the calculator. After resetting, it should work again.

My calculator casio fx-350ES doesn't have equation.why? or this calculator doesn't have software equation.why?

Not all calculators have that. The Fx115ES and the FX991 ES have a lot more options thatn the FX300Es and FX350ES. I believe you only have COMP (general computational mode), Table and STAT.
Why? It was not designed that way.

I was using a program that I entered into the program area of my TI-84. It worked perfectly and then I went to use it again, now I get this error message that says :ERR:DATA TYPE. What does this mean?

If it worked perfectly before then it should continue doing so. However when you used it the second time something might have changed in the variable you are feeding it. Foe example if the program needs a parameter A that is supposed to be integer (whole number) but now A stores a decimal value then A is of the wrong data type and the program complains.
I think you should clear all variables and all lists and restart the program. It may be safer to archive the program, then reset the RAM of the calculator. After that, unarchive it and run it.

I have a TI84 plus texas instruments i have removed both the batteries in order to reset the unit but it still has not resetted the unit. All I am getting all zeros on the screen

First try removing all four AAA batteries and the small lithium backup battery (above the four AAA batteries). Leave all batteries out for five minutes, then replace them and try to start the calculator. If this doesn't work...

Replace all but 1 AAA battery. Press and hold the "CLEAR" button on the calculator. While holding the "CLEAR" button down, replace the missing AAA battery. While still holding the "CLEAR" button, turn the calculator on. The display should read "RAM Cleared". Release the "CLEAR" button and press again to remove the message.

If that doesn't work, remove 1 AAA battery again. Repeat the preceding instructions with the "DEL" key: With the battery removed, press and hold the "DEL" key. With the "DEL" key held down, replace the battery and turn the calculator on. The screen should say "Waiting... Please install calculator software now." Release the "DEL" key. Download this program onto your computer (from Texas Instruments). Connect the calculator to the computer using the USB cable provided with purchase. Run the TI OSDownloader program and follow the on-screen instructions to re-install the calculator's operating system.

Linear culculation reset as ( 5+5/2=5 not 7.5 ! )

I have no idea what you mean by linear calculation reset. So I will not address it. As to the operation, (5+5[a b/c] [=] my calculator did not scream Syntax Error and dutifully supplied the missing parenthesis. The result is 7u1u2 or 7 and 1/2

I suspect you entered (5+5) [a b/c] 2 or (5+5) [/] 2 [=]. On my calculator the first key sequence yields 7u1u2, while the second key sequence yields 7.5

In the programs I have made when I use the Request enter a integer, I always have to press the alpha button before entering a # in the field when running the program, is their a way to program a request...

Hello,
The syntax of the command is as follows
:Request Message, VarName
where Message is a character string containing the message that will be displayed as a prompt, and VarName is the name of the string variable where the input will be stored.
If you want to input a numerical value you must convert it from character string to a numerical value (I know, it is like splitting hair but string 123456 is not the same as number 123456)
You convert from string to numerical value with the expr() command.
Exemple:
:Request "Value of a? ", s
:expr(s) --> a

That should do it.

Hope it helps.

NOt exactly a problem as my Casio SL-1100TV calculator works fine. What I am trying to find out more about is the 'K' function, when you can press the + button twice and it carries over the number that...

Hello,

If you have say to multiply 100 numbers by one single multiplier ( you have 100 multiplications to perfom) you use the Constant function abbreviated to K.

This is how you go about it
in a*b , a is called multilpicand, b is the multiplier.
You enter the multiplier (6) then you press twice on the multiplication key. You are ready to repeated the some operation but with a different multiplicand
You enter the first mutiplicand then you press = (or enter) the result is displayed.
Every number you are going to enter will be multiplied by 6
[6][*][*] -------constant multiplication with 6 as multiplier, Then
[5][=/ENTER/EXE] yields 30
[6][=] yields 36
[0.5][=] yields 3.

Be careful!! If you do not enter a new multiplier and just press [=] the calculator uses the last calculated result as the multiplicand. (On certain calculators, the last result is stored in a register called Ans (short for answer.)

What I described for the multiplication is valid for any arithmetic operation. Thus
[6][+][+] is constant addition with 6
[18][/][/] is constant division with 18 as divisor.

Hope it helps

Code for method parseInt() in java

parseInt(java.lang.String, int)

This code takes two arguments, a string constructor from the Java language and an integer. Its purpose is to parse (meaning de-construct or disassemble into component parts) one data type into another.

Here is an example of a Java program to specify and print out the dimensions of a rectangle, taken from the page http://www.roseindia.net/java/beginners/entervaluesfromkeyboard.shtml:

class Rectangle{
int length, breadth;
void show(int x, int y){
length = x;
breadth = y;
}
int calculate(){
return(length * breadth);
}
}
public class EnterValuesFromKeyboard{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();
int a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
int b = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
rectangle.show(a, b);
System.out.println(" you have entered these values : " + a + " and " + b);
int area = rectangle.calculate();
System.out.println(" area of a rectange is : " + area);
}
}
