Condition on equation
Hi! I've just received my new HP Prime (latest model) and am very excited. I'm also new to this forum. But I'm not new to HP calculators, I have a HP 48 and a HP50g.

Anyway, fiddling around with it, I was wondering whether there is a way to specify a condition on a formula in CAS mode. For example, if I want to add the condition x<1 before solving for x. Is that possible?

RE: Condition on equation
With assume( ) and additionally( ) you can perform those actions

RE: Condition on equation
Hi!, EricR :
Try with CASE, per example ...
CASE IF A<0
THEN RETURN "negative";
END;
IF 0≤A≤1
THEN RETURN "small";
END;
DEFAULT RETURN "large";
END;

RE: Condition on equation
How you would cancel an assume/additionally?

RE: Condition on equation
As far as I know the only way is "purge(var)".
