SlopeField for the HP 38G


There are a few of issues that you should be aware of if you are attempting to typethis program into your calculator 'by hand':

  1. Each subprogram is named, and is accessed by name; e.g., the actual name given to the subroutine that resets/starts the sum parameters MUST be 'RSUMSSET'.  If you are typing the program in by hand, this is the name that you should enter at the PROGRAM/NEW 'NAME:' prompt.
  2. The ampersand ('@') always marks the beginning of a comment.  Within any line of the program, all of the text that lies to the right of an ampersand character will be ignored when the program is compiled.  Since comments are not executed, they can all be omitted when entering the program 'by hand'.
  3. The hp38G parser is context-free: none of the of the program's 'white space' formatting has any effect on its execution.  In particular, the indenting of lines in the display below is done purely for readability.  It can be omitted without affecting the program's correct operation.
