Is it possible to program in BASIC on a Mac OS X system? You see, our graphics calculators at school use basic, and I like to try out programs, but the calculator is painful to use.

Also, what other languages are easy to start with? I am an absolute beginner.
 
CASIO BASIC is completely different ! It's a real sh!tty BASIC. Most commands everybody knows in BASIC have their own new syntax :mad:.

Moreover, the CASIO compile is not a BASIC compile: while the BASIC will turn into a kind of assembly at compile. the CASIO will turn it into system calls, which is a bit more faster than BASIC though.

Try a TI ! Texas Instruments calcs are really GREAT and share the same 68k Motorola processor you can find on most Macs :).

Toasted!

Ergh, that'd be right!

Well, I would change calcs, except I bought the Casio one, so don't want to spend MORE money, and also, at our school we're only allowed to use Casio calcs :S Still, it's better than my sis's HP :p
 
FORCED to buy a Casio ? True, it's better than HP (though the HP one can be programmed in system language which is assembly-fast).
