Programmer's Calculator V2.73 for the Palm OS
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
*** NOTE *** This list was provided by the original author Gary Desrosi. Gary is
no longer developing Programmer's Calculator. Our first goal was to make Programmer's Calculator available
again. In the next few months we will come up with our own list of features to develop toward.
- 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, v2.73 10/22/04
- Changed the About Form to reflect the public domain nature of Programmer's Calculator
New or changed for release v2.7 10/22/97 ( Last Release by Gary )
- 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.
