[42S] And now for something completely different
Challenge: write a correct English phrase using only 42S commands
(CATALOG-FCN) Since eg. INDEX is always followed by either a matrix name or IND something, it can't be used. Same for ASSIGN, DIM, INPUT, KEY, SOLVE - which would otherwise be words that you could use. FIX 10 is borderline ;-) The list of words you can use (correct me if I'm wrong): ALL AND BEEP BEST BIT? COMB COMPLEX CROSS CUSTOM DELAY DIM? DOT EDIT END ENTER FACT GAMMA (not so sure. it's simply the name of the Greek letter) GROW LIST LOG MAN MEAN MENU NORM NOT OFF OLD ON OR PIXEL POLAR PROMPT QUIET RAN REAL? SEED SIGN SIN SIZE SLOPE STOP SUM TAN TRACE WRAP 'STOP OLD MAN' would be an example. Can you find longer ones? This challenge is inspired by a hilarious response on comp.sys.hp48, 25 years ago (!!), with the following '48 program in the same vein: \<< ROLL OVER AND ROT \>> I pray for the author of this one-second marvel ;-) Werner 41CV†,42S,48GX,49G,DM42,DM41X,17BII,15CE,DM15L,12C,16CE |
