Re: Your premier HP program? Message #5 Posted by thibaut.be on 25 Jan 2002, 4:18 a.m., in response to message #1 by David H Thompson
Maybe not my first HP program, but this one was used in high school.
At that time accountancy was a big deal in our economics lessons. The exam lasted 4 hours and amongst difficult things was the need to list an error-free trial balance.
Besides I realized that sums of many numbers were always correct at the first time when using my 41CV.
What you needed there was as much as accountancy knowledge than organization skills. And that's where my 41CV helped me a lot : I wrote a sort routine (the non effecient bubble routine, but worked perfectly) to sort all my accounts and not to be messed up by lines that were a bit everywhere in my listing.
And, contributed by my 41, I was the only one in the classroom to have a total debit = total credit trial balance and total ledger = total journal...
