sine of an angle in degree mode

RE: sine of an angle in degree mode
Hello,

Well, since you guys want "precise" info, I had a look at the source code.

grad are converted to deg if needed.

The calc has a flag (fix) which tells it if the result is a remarquable value (0° in all modes, n*30° or tan(45) in deg/grad).

This flag is also put on entry if 0 is detected.

The calc then does a modulo 45 or pi/2, depending, using 31 digits.
It then applies cordic, which yeild a x and y pair on the axis of the angle.
tan=y/x cos/sin are calculated from tan using 1/sqrt(1+tan()²).

Then, if the flag was set, the result is rounded.
and this is it.

Cheers,
Cyrille

Tank you!!! From my point of view (I'm the OP) this is settled now.

From pushing SIN to display of the result (to be exact: to light sleep) it takes only two more firmware instructions to compute the result for 720 instead of 360.

Ciao.....Mike

Sorry for my ignorance but, what tools have you used to generate such firmware traces?

Thanks & regards.

I bet it's running on an IBM mainframe running VM/CMS or z/VM. (or an emulation on Hercules...)
Those were the days...

Long answer: do you have time for a looong tale? (negligibly, this question is a citation from Waterhole No. 3, when Foggers asks Cole "How come..?")

...

An interesting tale, & not so looong as expected ;-)

Thanks & regards.
