Hi everyone,

I was recently writing a TI-BASIC program using SourceCoder and, unless I'm mistaken, there doesn't seem to be a way to insert a negative sign. I'm aware I could just subtract the absolute value of the number I want from zero, but this isn't exactly ideal. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
If you want writing a BASIC program then you can use TI-Connect CE much easier. It has a negative sign included.
The negative sign in SourceCoder is "~", to differentiate between the subtraction symbol and the negative sign. So to store -5 to A, you would write:

Code:
~5→A

Alright, thanks!
Feel free to let us know if you run across any other symbols you're not sure how to type. Also, the token pane on the right side of the editor can help you with the exact spelling/capitalization of all of the tokens.

Not to hate on SourceCoder, of course. I use it all the time for ASM and the like. ^_^
