How do I program this equation into my TI-83?

Create a new program via [Prgm] > New. Type in whatever you want for the name (max of 8 characters).

Let's call your six variables A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Let's also pretend (for the sake of example) that your "long equation" was just computing A + B + C + D + E + F.

In your program, you would write:

:Prompt A,B,C,D,E,F

:A+B+C+D+E+F

That's it.

In reality, the second line would just be whatever your long equation is.

When you run the program, you'll be prompted for the variables A through F, and after you've entered them, the program will compute the result of the equation.

I will be given the six variables, how do I go about making that long equation onto my calculator so that I can just plug in the 6 givens?
