Re: How does BYTES => #B61Ch 78 slove this problem Message #10 Posted by Cameron on 5 June 2004, 1:27 a.m., in response to message #9 by Harrington
This isn't my bag, but...
It doesn't *solve* the problem. It's not supposed to.
And it's not a "memory location". I suspect that you've gone off on a tangent. It's not machine code; it's not tricky programming. It is simply a mechanism for confirming that you have keyed in VPN's program correctly.
The first number (#B61Ch) is a
checksum of the program you keyed in (in base 16). The second number is the amount of storage consumed by the program. If you get the same numbers as VPN you know you've keyed it in correctly.
Try an experiment. VPN stressed that you must match the character case of his listing *exactly*. Re-key the program and change just one character. The program won't work (of course) but when you use BYTES you will get a *different* value to VPN's. That tells you that you made a mistake (although it doesn't show you what the mistake was).
I hope that helped.

PS: I know nothing of these new-fangled RPL calculators so I probably can't help you much more.
