(TI-57 language description)
m (Memory registers)
 
Line 4:
The programming language is similar to a primitive macro assembler. Any keystroke could be stored, along with basic program flow control commands and conditional tests. The TI-57 used the "one step, one instruction" principle, regardless of whether one instruction required one or up to four keypresses.
 
Tests for equality/inequality could be performed against a value on the display (the x register) and a dedicated register (the tmemory register #7, also named t). The result of the test would cause the next instruction to be conditionally skipped.
 
Targeted users were highschool students and engineers: basic mathematical, trigonometrical and statistical functions were therefore available.
