TI-BASIC help

1→A

2→B

3→P

4→V

Disp AB

Disp PV

Running the above program on a TI-84 Plus prints the following:

 

2

0

 

I'm seriously perplexed by this. Shouldn't it be 2 and 12?

Should be "Disp ABPV" and not separated I guess

Nah, I'm not interested in AB. I just used it when I was wondering why my Quadratic equation program worked but my ideal gas law program did not. 

 

I'm perplexed because it seems like the name of the variables are affecting their function.  

Disp P correctly displays its value of 3, and Disp V correctly displays its value of 4.

Edit: Derp, should have used the store function, lol. What an embarrassing mistake.

 

Don't worry, this kind of thing happens to everyone.

 

I suppose there's no way for me to delete this thread?

 

Doesn't hurt to leave the topic up in case it can help someone in the future.

Actually I realized later that I correctly used the store function in my actual program and only accidentally used the "=" in the test program. I updated both posts to reflect the problem I actually have. 

 

Although explicitly multiplying the values by adding a * between the variables fixed the issue, I'm still curious as to why PV doesn't work when AB works.
