Programmer's Calculator V2.7 for the Pilot and PalmPilot
Release notes
There are some features that I would have liked to include in this release but just ran out of time. These will be included in a future release
- More programmable keys
- Documentation in .pdb file for doc
- Cut/paste in other input dialogs
- Scroll area in expression inputs
- int() and sgn() functions
- Function to change base (set base)
- Get/Store programs in notepad
- Graphing capabilities
New or changed for this release, v2.7 10/22/97
- Added do, while, if, for, grouping of statements using curly braces { }, and statement termination using semi-colon ;
- Added pre and post increment and decrement operators and op-assign functions to the expression interpreter.
- Changed status display area
- Added scrolling display
- Added option for case insensitivity and hexadecimal display of floating point numbers
- Added ASCII chart. I labored over this for along time. Not because it's difficult or time consuming to code but because all the concepts I came up with to display the chart didn't seem right. I hope, that the end result, is pleasing.
- I changed the expression interpreter's < and > bit rotate functions to be <<< and >>> because these tokens conflicted with the relational operators and also, I recently found out, are "C" psudo-standard.
- The memory requirements for the calc should be much less because I now do update in place to the database and perform stack management in a much more logical and extensible mannor.
- The pow() function can now be used for binary powers. MathLib is still required, though.
