Parts of the TriCoder programming screen
Before you start programming the TriCoder, it helps to know what the TriCoder is asking you at each step.
Prompt
< PROGRAM #
1
PROMPT
01
>
The word
PROMPT
describes what prompt in Program #1 you are working on; in the example above we are at the first prompt. The
01
tells us what prompt number we are working on. If we were working on prompt
03
, the text would look like this:
< PROGRAM #
1
PROMPT
03
>
The fields beneath
< PROGRAM #
1
PROMPT
01
>
are where the individual parameters of the program are defined.
To navigate through the program you use the down arrow key or the Enter key to move down.
To move from prompt to prompt you use the right arrow and left arrow keys.
