My first experience with programming came during my Sophomore year. I learned TI-Basic, a programming language developed by Texas Instruments for the TI 83/84 Graphing Calculator. I have written several program packs using TI-Basic such as the "PROGRAM" program pack (includes the Quadratic Formula, a root simplifier, a complex root finder, and a Newton Method program), the "CHAOS" program pack I wrote for my Chaos Theory class, and "TRIG" program pack (includes "Identities," "Formulas," and "Triangle").
For my distinction project I had to learn C++. I had a formal C++ class during the spring of my senior year.
