That covers a lot of ground. Do you have a more specific description? Keep in mind that the Stamps don't have floating point capability without an external floating point processor.
Sorry here is a more specific detailed description of what i want. I want to be able to plug in numbers through push buttons to different inputs then i want to use those numbers to calculate probability using different mathematical equations. Is there any way of counting those push button pushes as numbers then using them in equations?
There are all kinds of examples of using pushbuttons. Start with the "What's a Microcontroller?" tutorial. Make sure you've got a copy of the "Stamp Basic Syntax and Reference Manual". There are several "Nuts and Volts" columns dealing with pushbuttons. To find these for downloading, go to Parallax's main web page (www.parallax.com) and select the "Resources" tab, then choose the "Downloads" item. You'll find the tutorials under "Stamps in Class Downloads", the manual in "Basic Stamp Documentation". I suggest you go through the Nuts and Volts columns for other interesting items.
As I mentioned earlier, the Stamps don't have built-in floating point. For probability equations, you are likely to want floating point. You can attach an easy to use floating point processor to the Stamps and Parallax carries two different versions that vary in their speed, cost, and package size. Go to the product page (www.parallax.com/tabid/617/List/0/CategoryID/82/Level/a/SortField/0/Default.aspx) where you will find documentation.
In terms of counting button pushes, that's a straightforward programming task.

Yes that coprocesser looks like it can do the trick. I'm kinda new to the microprocessor world, could you explain to me where that hooks up on a micro controller? Does it take up inputs or not? And would the programming just coincide with the regular pbasic, or would it be completely different? And finally if it is totally different where can i get some reading material on it?

There are several links on each with PDFs, etc.· They both interconnect via I/O pins.
