Some 30b routines, revisited



#6

In Some 30b Routines Jeff O presents 10 routines

Quote:
In the absence of a complete repurposing of the 30b, I decided to come up with a set of key reassignments and/or programs to make the 30b more easily useable (to me, at least) as a scientific calculator. I decided to implement the following functions in the 10 available program slots:

SIN-1

COS-1

TAN-1

Complex add

Complex subtract

Complex multiply

Complex divide

Complex Invert

Polar to Rectangular Conversion

Rectangular to Polar Conversion

Within the message thread program modifications were made so that all programs could have program labels and still fit in the 290 byte program memory of the 30b. Thomas Klemm contributed to the final set of programs.

I wondered if the programs could be shrunk further. Further shrinkage would have no practical purpose since there could be no more than 10 programs therefore no way to use the released program memory. Still, the exercise was enjoyable and successful. The shrunken programs revisited consume 272 bytes of 290 bytes of program memory.

I played with the 30b inverse trig functions sin-1, cos-1, and tan-1. I discovered whether or not the 2nd or final Input is pressed, that when followed by an arithmetic (+, -, X, /) or one-number (x^2, 1/x, e^x, etc.) function the answer is the same. (My calculator's SW version 4 5 2010 1.) The advantage to not pressing the 2nd or final Input is the name of the inverse trig function (sin-1, cos-1, tan-1) remains displayed. This eliminates the need for the 2nd message XXX-1 step, a saving of 18 bytes total. Also, I made COS-1 and TAN-1 callable routines and re-numbered labels.

Here are the ten programs, revisited. Programs 3, 4, and 9 are unchanged from the original message thread.

Hello Harry,

I did not exect to see that post brought up again :-) The main interest in the 30b nowadays is as a platform for wp34s.

As far as leaving out the INPUT, that does seem to work if your next action is some function. But if you want to key in a new value to operate on the result, you must remember to press INPUT first.


#8

Et tu Jeff?

Did you convert your 30b to a wp34s?

I do use the 30b TVM functions.

About INPUT, you'll notice I left them in program 8 after the call statements. No sweat when using the calculator having to INPUT for some calculations. Easy to remember.

It's curious there's no need to INPUT when followed by Roll Down, Swap, and +/-! The only operations I do which need INPUT are STO and the occasional entry of a new value which (to me) make them the exceptions.


#9

Hi Harry,
These are nice programs. May I suggest to create an article, so they are not lost in the constant flow of posts in the forum?

Regards,

Miguel

Sorry, no betrayal was intended.

I have two 30b calculators - one is converted to wp34s, the other is to be converted, but as yet remains a 30b.
