@flawr The reason Ans is usually accepted is because its value is set by any expression (expressions are separated by :). Therefore something like 1337:prgmXTHROOT would input 1337, which looks a lot like input via CLAs in a normal language.

| Feb 29, 2016 at 21:30 | comment | added | CalculatorFeline | Question: Are there more than 256 tokens? If so, your byte count is invalid. | |

What I meant is that Ans is the only way for functions to take input and return output without messing with the global variables (technically Ans is global, but I'm referring to the A, B, etc.)

You can vote on the validity of Ans on meta.

@Timtech Certainly not. There are functions like Input and Prompt.

stdin and stdout are text streams, usually for interactive text input and output. Ans is not interactive, unlike some other functions in TI-BASIC, which are interactive.

Ans is STDIN/STDOUT for TI-Basic.

As far as I am aware ans would count as hardcoding inputs into variables and does not seem to be an accepted input method for code-golf. In that case, please make a full program or a function.
