Peer reviewedThompson, H. Bradford – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1983
This column is designed to share BASIC sub-programs and to show how subroutines and function subprograms may be used to simplify and organize BASIC programing. The yes-no function is defined and programs presented, followed by the multiple-branch function and adding a HELP feature. (MNS)

Peer reviewedThomas, Frederick J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1983
Emphasis on interfacing -- the various processes for passing information into or out of computers -- is suggested. Why the Texas Instruments microcomputer is plausible for this is noted, followed by specific interfacing suggestions, including programs for a timer and the assembly language subroutine. (MNS)
