Instructions
First, write the name and model of your calculator in the table below, then use this code with an empty line in the "test code here" space to measure your loop overhead.
Add the number of iterations you used to the "iterations" column, and [time taken]/[iterations] to the "average" column. Then subtract your loop overhead from the result and list it in the "time" column.

Repeat checkTmr(θ
End
For(𝑛,1,[iterations]) //sequence variable 𝑛; note the closing parenthesis.
//test code here
End

Below we can see that using the same variable for the seq( variable as the For( variable doesn't slow anything down. The value of the variable before seq( was called is restored in a constant amount of time.

binomcdf(N-1,0 is often used to construct a list of a certain length N, but binompdf( can be slightly faster. The difference is about equal to the time for a call to cumSum(. When called with a second argument that is not 0 or 1, binompdf( slows down dramatically, by a factor of 60.
