Not necessarily, I have just written assembly routines for 2^x, 10^x and e^x for the "AriCalculator" (see main thread in "not HP related" section of forum) that use CORDIC methods and not x^y = e^(ylnx).

Exactly, if you chose an algorithm that is superior to another, it gives better results, but the previous algorithm can still be bug free.

That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind.
