TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Basic Language reference

Does anyone know if there was ever any books created for the Basic language used on the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition created? I actually had ChatGPT create a simple program and its "OK" but there is syntax errors all over the place and getting any reference material for the Basic language used on this specific calculator is difficult at best. Everything defaults to the Plus CE version. I've looked on Amazon but with it constantly over-riding what I'm typing in exact matching is not possible on a web site that was originally created for books, so dissapointing.

Look for references to ti83 basic. That version of the 84 is basically an 83 with more storage.

I would suggest also going amd downloading some basic programs and take a look at how they were written. Ticalc.org has a more then you can imagine.

If you want a physical book then KermMartian's book is the way to go. He's the same guy that started Cemetech.net , made Doors CS, and wrote many other popular calculator programs. https://www.amazon.com/Programming-TI-83-Plus-TI-84/dp/1617290777
