I have a HP 17bII+ and am thinking of getting a HP Prime but only if it offers a similar SOLVER function.
I have solver functions in my 17bII+ to calculate the following:
Black Scholes (uses 0xL(B:1...), ABS, L(D:L...), etc.. functions)
Standard Deviation Rate of Return (uses summation, SIZES, ITEM, etc.. functions)
sin,cos,tan - not required in the PRIME :)
Normal Prob DF - (uses the EXP, SQRT function)
Normal Cumul DF
and a Date function - (uses DDAYS function)
Are these programs translatable into the HP Prime programming language? I've tried to copy and paste the following into the simulator (as an example):
0*L(D1:(LN(PS/PE)+(RF%/100+S^2/2)*T)/S/SQRT(T))
*L(D2:D1-S*SQRT(T))*D2*PUTV+PS*ABS(IF(D1<0;0;-1)
+SIGMA(I:1:5:1:ITEM(NORM:I)*SPPV(23.16419*ABS(D1):I))
/EXP(D1^2/2))-PE/EXP(RF%*T/100)*ABS(IF(D2<0:0:-1)
+SIGMA(I:1:5:1:ITEM(NORM:I)*SPPV(23.16419*ABS(D2):I))
/EXP(D2^2/2))-CALLV+0*L(PUTV:CALLV-PS+PE/EXP(RF%*T/100))
but I get a syntax errors so I dont think they are compatible.
Can the Prime do everything the 17bII+ can do? If so, I would like to replace my 17bII+ with something a bit more flashier.
