How the heck do I Iterate and Emulate? - brickviking - 10-04-2015 07:18 AM I've got a HP-50G, but people have been humming about the Prime for a little while now. I installed the emulator, and I have upgraded to the 8151 version. I tried a really simple program in the HP emulator: Code:
All I get as output is "X is 0" (understandable) and "X is now 0" (which is not). Clearly I'm doing something completely wrong, as I typed the ITERATE example in from the manual, yet I'm not getting the same results as the manual. I also tried it in the Home screen, ITERATE worked fine there. So, where am I going wrong?

You should do: X:=ITERATE(X^2,X,2,3); RE: How the heck do I Iterate and Emulate? - brickviking - 10-04-2015 09:23 AM (10-04-2015 08:00 AM)Didier Lachieze Wrote: ITERATE doesn't change the value of your local variable X. Ahh, that would explain that. So it's a bit more like PASCAL than I previously thought. Thank you. (Post 36) |
