Long Shot #2 - BLAP Examples

[Thomas Klemm]

Or then you write a small program:

Code:

LBL'BLA'
LBL A
X<>Y
R↓
RCL* T
+
R↑
RTN
LBL B
RCL Z
X<>Y
/
+
END

You start with X = 1A and Y = 0V:
1 A
2 A
3 B
2 A
7 B
2 A
1 A
4 B
2 A
5 B
2 A

You end up with: X = 13A and Y = 56V.
Since you know both current and voltage you don't have to backtrack the rightmost current but can calculate it immediately: 7/56 = 0.125

PS: The same program works with complex numbers when using the HP-42S. With the WP-34S you'd have to use the CPX variants of the operations. That's the big advantage of a complex mode or type: you don't have to bother whether to use real or complex numbers. Instead you can even mix them.
