Re: wp34S IEEE Floating-Point Conversions Message #13 Posted by Jake Schwartz on 8 June 2011, 10:46 a.m., in response to message #4 by Paul Dale
Hi Pauli,
Quote:
We have a register I if you are not using complex operations so you didn't need to grab register 99 instead.
I totally forgot about register I (109) ...that would have been much better. As you can see, I'm still learning :-) And using INC X and DEC X would be better as well.
The conversion was otherwise straightforward, and the merging of keystrokes in the 34S for functions which required the x-register value as their argument in the 16C (like SB, RL, MASKR, etc) was a step saver. I had to remember though, that in these cases, the 34S argument was always in decimal (such as MASKL 24) versus in the 16C, when the argument was loaded into X in the current base as program steps, so in the 16C assuming HEX, the steps were "1" and "8". Otherwise, it was not too bad at all. Having virtually all the 16C functionality available is a really great thing.
