I have a question regarding writing a program to set or clear a flag automatically. I am going into third semester calculus and just got done with second semester claculus in which the whole class uses HP48sx's. We seem to do a lot of calculations in which we either need a real number answer or a symbolic answer. I hate having to always check the modes menu and to see if symbolic is on or not. I want to write a program that if symbolic is on it automaticaly turns it off and says "SYM OFF" and in turn if symbolic is already off I want it to turn it on and say "SYM ON". I have not written anything with if statements or anything with some type of checker. The flag settings for symbolic is -3, -3 clear returns symbolic result, -3 set returns numeric resultsif anyone has any ideas pleas post or E-mail me. -Vince -salvato@enuxha.eas.asu.edu
