(10C) ABSolute value Function - Gamo - 01-08-2019 06:43 AM
This little program steps is use for [ABS] the "Absolute Value" function.
This program steps only use "Test Function" while other method use
Arithmetic calculations to get the Absolute Value.
Here is the Arithmetic method: [X^2] [√X]
Test Function method: 0 [X<>Y] [X≤Y] [CHS]
----------------------------------------------------
Example: Program to calculate + or - [√X] using ABS
100 [R/S] display 10
100 [CHS] [R/S] display 10
---------------------------------------------------
Program: Calculate [√X] using ABS to only return positive value
Code:
0
X<>Y
X≤Y
CHS
√XRemark: This routine also work on HP-12C

Shouldn't the last step be + not square root?

Usually the last line with √X is just the example.
Program without example is
01 0
02 X<>Y
03 X≤Y
04 CHS
That example on line 05 √X
When run any number it will always be positive then use square root.

Example program to demonstrate the use of ABSolute Value.
This program make endless loop to keep subtracting 1 to accumulate
negative value then use ABS to make it positive.
[R/S] display "-1" 1 keep continue ......
Program:
Code:
01 1
02 STO-0
03 RCL 0
04 PSE
05 0
06 X<>Y
07 X≤Y
08 CHS
09 PSE

I was thinking about + removing the 0 from Y.
But since it was an example, it isn't important.

I use the first method ([X^2] [√X]) for the HP 12C.
