SHARP PC-G850(V)(S): 107 keystrokes
Same number of keystrokes as the PC-E500(S) but one more for R. instead of F1 to run. The SHARP PC-G850(V)(S) has the same or similar keys (but no function keys) and similar BASIC.
SHARP PC-1403 to PC-1475: 118 keystrokes
An older series with the same or similar keys as the PC-E500(S), but with simpler BASIC, which has no impact on keying-in this simple program. However, [ENTER] is required after each pair of X,Y results are displayed (because all PC-14xx have a one-line LCD, except PC-1475 which has two lines. Thus adding 11 more keystrokes compared to the PC-E500(S).
Edit note: by comparison, the AREAD-based program for the PC-14xx series takes 111 keystrokes, here in full detail:
Setup: 33
Execution: 78
Total score: 111
Total score is 110 when entering B first before A for the first entry pair. This avoids having to clear the error [CL] when B is zero.
