TI BASIC question. I wrote my first program for my 83 that solves the quadratic formula. The problem is that my program gives decimal approximations instead of exact value when dealing with square roots. How do I program it to show exact values?

The TIcalc site has a quadratic solver that expresses the answer as a radical but I don't have a link cable. Maybe I can convince the one person in my class with this version of the quad EQ program to give me a look at the code so I can figure out how the gently caress it was done. It's not a huge deal or incredibly important but it's driving me nuts and I would like to learn how to do it.

I had assumed that as well until I opened the files in Notepad and got a huge string of gibberish. I could also be a moron, who knows!
