I had to get a TI-83 Plus graphing calculator for school this year, so I decided I wanted to learn how to program it. Right now I am just using other people’s codes. I programmed Pong with no problems, but I am having trouble with one symbol in Snake. It’s the thing that kinda looks like a capital L in this line of the code: :A→dim(⌊A Can anyone tell me how to put in this symbol? I can’t find it in any of the programming menus on the calculator. P.S. I am programming directly on the calculator, not on a computer. ---

If you google stuff there are instructions to get a Mario game on your calculator if I remember.
