(42S) Roman to Arabic Representation
Given a valid Roman number in the alpha register the prog returns the value in Arabic form in the X register.

0. { 78-Byte Prgm }
1. LBL “R→A”
2. CLST
3. ALENG
4. X<> ST Z
5. LBL 09
6. ATOX
7. XTOA
8. R↓
9. XEQ IND ST T
10. X<>Y
11. X<Y?
12. +/-
13. STO+ ST Z
14. R↓
15. DSE ST Z
16. GTO 09
17. GTO 00
18. LBL 77
19. 1000
20. RTN
21. LBL 68
22. 500
23. RTN
24. LBL 67
25. 100
26. RTN
27. LBL 76
28. 50
29. RTN
30. LBL 88
31. 10
32. RTN
33. LBL 86
34. 5
35. RTN

Why mint and why not this? Wink

Because the build quality, great keyboard, and pride of ownership just aren't there for me Wink

Oh, almost forgot those sensations...
This evening I'll handle my mint one then. Or one of the others.

To posts #2 to #7:

The sensual nature of the HP 42S is undeniable but not a propos the topic.

Perhaps start a new thread on sensuality grading of various models?

RE: (42S) Roman to Arabic Representation
Making use of a 13x2 matrix "RN":
[[ 1000 77 ]
[ 900 "CM" ]
[ 500 68 ]
[ 400 "CD" ]
[ 100 67 ]
[ 90 "XC" ]
[ 50 76 ]
[ 40 "XL" ]
[ 10 88 ]
[ 9 "IX" ]
[ 5 86 ]
[ 4 "IV" ]
[ 1 73 ]]

Both encodings can be written as follows:

Code:
00 { 82-Byte Prgm }
01▸LBL "→ROM"
02 ENTER
03 EDITN "RN"
04▸LBL 02
05 X>Y?
06 GTO 00
07 STO- ST Y
08 →
09 XTOA
10 ←
11 GTO 02
12▸LBL 00
13 ↓
14 FC? 76
15 GTO 02
16 EXITALL
17 RTN
18▸LBL "→ARB"
19 INDEX "RN"
20 CLST
21 ALENG
22 X<> ST Z
23▸LBL 03
24 ATOX
25 XTOA
26 [FIND]
27 X=0?
28 ASTO ST Z
29 J-
30 CLX
31 RCLEL
32 X<>Y
33 X<Y?
34 +/-
35 STO+ ST Z
36 R↓
37 DSE ST Z
38 GTO 03
39 +
40 EXITALL
41 END

The →ROM routine appends the Roman numerals to the Alpha register; just add a CLA at the beginning and an AVIEW at the end if you want to see single results.
The →ARB routine (a copy of yours, Gerald, but using the RN matrix instead) has a rudimentary error check: when it encounters an unknown character it produces an "Alpha Data is Invalid" message.

Cheers, Werner

or run the following program to create the matrix:

RE: (42S) Roman to Arabic Representation
Thank you, Werner, for the advice on entering alpha data into a matrix, I couldn't find this explicitly in the manual, do you have a reference?

I had for some time (6 years?) thought there should be an equally economical algorithm for ->ROM as for ->ARB but never found/invented one, so your programme is much appreciated.

The matrix RN occupies 230 Bytes of memory, so total for programme & matrix is 312 Bytes.

The programme below is my previous best attempt & is a little faster than yours.

Code:
0.    { 245-Byte Prgm }
1.    LBL “R→A”

RE: (42S) Roman to Arabic Representation
Hi Gerald,
no I don't have a reference, I just tried it once and it worked ;-)
And the >ROM algorithm is not mine.. I just made it matrix-based.
Roman Numerals for the 41
And that looks eerily like yours -)

Cheers, Werner

the original posting

Yes, I'm fairly sure I copied Jean-Marc Baillard's programme in the first place, all credit to him.

is incorrect.

In fact it's a copy of Didier Lachieze' programme as referenced here:
