## Creating programs

Programs are sets of commands that the TI graphing calculator carries out as if you had typed them on the device. You can create programs using the TI Program tool of TI Data Editor. Before you use TI Program to create a program, you may want to become familiar with the catalog palette and the auto-complete drawer. (See "Adding programming functions to data".)

### To create programs

| 1. | In the TI Data Editor menu, click File > New > TI Program.

| 2. | Click the Destination Device box.

A device type drop-down list opens.

| 3. | Select the device type that will run the new program.

| 4. | Type the program.

Note: You can select program functions from the catalog palette or complete functions using the shortcuts in the auto-complete drawer. Click View > Show Catalog Palette.

| 5. | Save the program. (See "Saving data".)
