New to HP prime

[cyrille de brébisson]

Hello,

Thanks for your comments.

As stated by Steve, the CAS and the Home view are different beasts.

HP did put on a lot of work to partially integrate them, but this is not 100% possible, and differences will stay.

The CAS is based on xcas, created by Dr Bernard Parrise which you can download and install on your PC. I believe that Most non-complex xcas programs will be compatible between the calculator and the PC version of the cas (assuming that you respect some rules) Bernard, can you chime in here? This is a cool thing as it means that you can create and develop a program on the PC and then move it on the calculator with minimum work.

Now, CAS and home do have different ways of doing things (for good reasons). For example, Home has a programming language that is somewhat consistent with languages like C or Pascal while the CAS language is more of a scripting language (for example, there is no locality of local variables).
Since most of the documentation on Prime relates to Home, this can sometimes be deceiving when doing anything non-trivial.

Anyway, with this in mind, I hope that you have a good time with your Prime and that you enjoy it.
