HP 10C question about [n!] - Gamo - 11-14-2017 07:00 AM
I'm happen to try HP 10C emulator on the web and just noticed that the function n! can compute Gamma Function as well. Hear that the symbol n! on HP's calculator cannot do gamma function where as x! can do it. I don't have physical HP 10C and would like to know if the real HP 10C really can do gamma function.
Thank You
Gamo

The real HP-10C cannot do gamma. Its n! function really is just n!, not gamma(n+1).
I checked on my real 10C, just to be sure.

After all this is a museum, so you can look up such things easily, in this case on the 10C features page. So the 10C doesn't seem to have a Gamma function.
This also means that you do not use an emulator but a simulator that does not run the original 10C microcode.

Thank You Dieter and Thomas Okken
My bad didn't check the specifications on HP museum page. Was surprise at first that 10C can do it then now I know.
The one thing I like about the 10C is the [P/R] botton
To put in program mode no need to press shift key.

Nice. Who knows how many 10C "emulators" exist? I do not mean Free42-like simulations but 'firmware-interpreters' based on the original firmware of the real thing. (BTW, Free42 is a class of its own, a well done simulation of all aspects is for sure a valuable replacement.)
Ciao.....Mike
Yes, Thomas Okken is almost like a god to me as are David and Michael at SwissMicros who took Okken's software and built hardware around it. Those people are amazing!.
Hail Og!
Who is Og? He's the god of high fructose corn syrup. His followers make many products people buy every day. Just look on many food packages in the supermarket and you'll see his name: "Og High fructose corn syrup"

It looks like even before Voyager support was removed from Nonpareil, it only emulated the 11C, 12C, 15C, and 16C -- not the 10C. I wonder why? Is the hardware different in some way?

No ROM dump at the time...
