(42S) Argument, Real Part, Imaginary Part, and Sign Function
The HP 42S* has only one extraction function for complex numbers: ABS (absolute value) by default. To complete the list, here are some programs for ARG (argument), REAL (real part), and IMAG (imaginary part). The three functions take a complex number, in either rectangular or polar form.
Using stack commands and flag checks, I am able to get obtain results without affecting the stack much (although the z and t stacks will have the same value). Also included is the SIGN (signum) function. * This applies to the Swiss Micros DM42 (it should work), Free42 from Thomas Oakken, and any other HP 42S emulator apps. The print out is from Free42 (and I also have a physical HP 42S). Disclaimer: I don't own a DM42... yet. HP 42S Program: ARG Code:

What about:
Code: LBL "SIGN" Which (I think, I've no 42 to hand) sets LastX properly and doesn't impact the stack. Pauli |

For complex arguments it even returns 0 for 0+0i. For real arguments sign(0) is returned as 1. Maybe for compatibility with the HP-41 which does it the same way. Here SIGN returns 0 only for Alpha data (!). Dieter |

On my real HP 42S
SIGN returns 0+0i for input 0+0i |
