Important Preliminaries
Turning the Calculator On and Off
To turn the calculator on, press . ON is printed below the key.
To turn the calculator off, press {
. That is, press and release the {
shift key, then press (which has OFF printed in blue above it). Since the
calculator has Continuous Memory, turning it off does not affect any
information you've stored, (You can also press z
to turn the
calculator off.)
To conserve energy, the calculator turns itself off after 10 minutes of no use. If
you see the low–power indicator ( ¤ ) in the display, replace the batteries
as soon as possible. See appendix A for instructions.
Adjusting Display Contrast
Display contrast depends on lighting, viewing angle, and the contrast setting.
To increase or decrease the contrast, hold down the key and press or

Shifted Keys
Each key has three functions: one printed on its face, a left–shifted
function (orange), and a right–shifted function (blue). The shifted function

names are printed in orange and blue above each key. Press the appropriate
shift key (z or {) before pressing the key for the desired function. For
example, to turn the calculator off, press and release the { shift key, then
press .
Pressing z or { turns on the corresponding or ¡ annunciator
symbol at the top of the display. The annunciator remains on until you press
the next key. To cancel a shift key (and turn off its annunciator), press the
same shift key again.

alphabetic key
Most keys have a letter written next to them, as shown above. Whenever
you need to type a letter (for example, a variable or a program label), the
A..Z annunciator appears in the display, indicating that the alpha keys
are "active".
Variables are covered in chapter 3; labels are covered in chapter 6.
Backspacing and Clearing
One of the first things you need to know is how to clear; how to correct
numbers, clear the display, or start over.

Keyboard–entry mode:
Erases the character immediately to the left of "_"
(the digit–entry cursor) or backs out of the current
menu. (Menus are described in "Using Menus" on
page 1–4.) If the number is completed (no cursor),
a clears the entire number.
Equation–entry mode:
Erases the character immediately to the left of "¾ "
(the equation–entry cursor). If a number entry in
your equation is complete, a erases the entire
number. If the number is not complete, a erases
the character immediately to the left of "_" (the
number–entry cursor. "_" changes back to "¾ "
when number entry is complete.
a also clears error messages, and deletes the
current program line during program entry.
Clear or Cancel.
Clears the displayed number to zero or cancels the
current situation (such as a menu, a message, a
prompt, a catalog, or Equation–entry or
Program–entry mode).

Description
The CLEAR menu ({º } {# } {} {Σ}
Contains options for clearing x (the number in
the X–register), all Data, all variables, all of
memory, or all statistical data.
If you select {}, a new menu ( @
{& } { }) is displayed so you can verify your
decision before erasing everything in memory.
During program entry, {} is replaced by
{ }. If you select { }, a new menu (
@ {& } { } ) is displayed, so you can verify
your decision before erasing all your programs.
During equation entry (either keyboard
equations or equations in program lines), the
@ {& } { } menu is displayed, so you
can verify your decision before erasing the
equation.
If you are viewing a completed equation, the
equation is deleted with no verification.
Using Menus
There is a lot more power to the HP 32SII than what you see on the
keyboard. This is because 12 of the keys (with a shifted function name printed
on a dark–colored background above them) are menu keys. There are 14
menus in all, which provide many more functions, or more options for more
functions. Pressing a menu key (shifted) produces a menu in the
display–a series of choices.

engineering calculations that use units specified in multiples of I03 (such ass
micro–, milli–, and kilo–units.)
After the prompt, _, type in the number of digits you want after the first
significant digit. For 10 or 11 places, press 0 or 1.
For example, in the number ) , the "2", "3", "4", and "6" are

SHOWing Full 12–Digit Prec ision
Changing the number of displayed decimal places affects what you see, but it
does not affect the internal representation of numbers. Any number stored
internally always has 12 digits.
For example, in the number 14.8745632019, you see only "14.8746"
when the display mode is set to FIX 4, but the last six digits ("632019") are
present internally in the calculator.

The Automatic Memory Stack
This chapter explains how calculations take place in the automatic memory
stack. You do not need to read and understand this material to use the
calculator, but understanding the material will greatly enhance your use of the
calculator, especially when programming.
In part 2, "Programming", you will learn how the stack can help you to
manipulate and organize data for programs.
What the Stack Is
Automatic storage of intermediate results is the reason that the HP 32SII easily
processes complex calculations, and does so without parentheses. The key to
automatic storage is the automatic, RPN memory stack.
HP's operating logic is based on an unambiguous, parentheses–free
mathematical logic known as "Polish Notation," developed by the Polish
logician Jan Łukasiewicz (1878–1956).
While conventional algebraic notation places the operators between the
relevant numbers or variables, Łhukasiewicz's notation places them before
the numbers or variables. For optimal efficiency of the stack, we have
modified that notation to specify the operators after the numbers. Hence the
term Reverse Polish Notation, or RPN.
The stack consists of four storage locations, called registers, which are
"stacked" on top of each other. These registers—labeled X, Y, Z, and T–store
and manipulate four current numbers. The "oldest" number is stored in the T–
(top) register. The stack is the work area for calculations.

“Oldest” number
Displayed
The most "recent" number is in the X–register: this is the number you see in the
display.
In programming, the slack is used to perform calculations, to temporarily store
intermediate results, to pass stored data (variables) among programs and
subroutines, to accept input, and to deliver output.
The X–Register Is in the Display
The X–register is what you see except when a menu, a message, or a
program line is being displayed. You might have noticed that several function
names include an x or y.
This is no coincidence: these letters refer to the X– and Y–registers. For
example, z ( raises ten to the power of the number in the X–register
(the displayed number).
Clearing the X–Register
Pressing z b {º } always clears the X–register to zero; it is also used
to program this instruction. The key, in contrast, is context–sensitive. It.
either clears or cancels the current display, depending on the situation: it acts
like z b {º} only when the X–register is displayed. a also acts like
z b {º} when the X–register is displayed and digit entry is
terminated (no cursor present). It cancels other displays: menus, labeled
numbers, messages, equation entry, and program entry.

Reviewing the stack
R¶ (Roll Down)
The 9 (roll down) key lets you review the entire contents of the stack by
"rolling" the contents downward, one register at a time. You can see each
number when it enters the X–register.
Suppose the stack is filled with 1, 2, 3, 4 (press 1 2 3
4. Pressing 9 four times rolls the numbers all the way around and
back to where they started:

What was in the X–register rotates into the T–register, the contents of the
T–register rotate into the Z–register, etc. Notice that only the centents of the
registers are rolled — the registers themselves maintain their positions, and
only the X–register's contents are displayed.
Rµ (Roll Up)
The { 8 (roll up) key has a similar function to 9 except that it "rolls" the
stack contents upward, one register at a time.
The contents of the X–register rotate into the Y–register; what was in the
T–register rotates into the X–register, and so on.

Exchanging the X– and Y–Registers in the Stack
Another key that manipulates the stack contents is Z (x exchange y). This
key swaps the contents of the X– and Y–registers without affecting the rest of
the stack. Pressing Z twice restores the original order of the X– and
Y–register contents.
The Z function is used primarily for two purposes:
To view the contents of the Y–register and then return them to y (press
Z twice).
Some functions yield two results: one in the X–register and one in the
Y–register. For example, z q converts rectangular coordinates in
the X– and Y–registers into polar coordinates in the X– and Y–registers.
To swap the order of numbers in a calculation.
For example, one way to calculate 9 ÷ (13 × 8):
Press 13 8 y 9 Z p
The keystrokes to calculate this expression from left–to–right are:
9 13 8 y p
Note
Always make sure that there are no more than four numbers in
the stack at any given time – the contents of the T–register (the
top register) will be lost whenever a fifth number is entered.
Arithmetic–How the Stack Does It
The contents of the stack move up and down automatically as new numbers
enter the X–register (lifting the stack) and as operators combine two
numbers in the X– and Y–registers t o produce one new number in the
X–register (dropping the stack).
Suppose the stack is filled with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. See how
the stack drops and lifts its contents while calculating

1. The stack "drops" its contents. The T– (top) register replicates its contents.
2. The stack "lifts" its contents. The T–register's contents are lost.
3. The stack drops.
Notice that when the stack lifts, it replaces the contents of the T– (top)
register with the contents of the Z–register, and that the former contents of
the T–register are lost. You can see, therefore, that the stack's memory is
limited to four numbers.
Because of the automatic movements of the stack, you do not need to
clear the X–register before doing a new calculation.
Most functions prepare the stack to lift its contents when the next number
enters the X–register. See appendix B for lists of functions that disable
stack lift.
How ENTER Works
You know that separates two numbers keyed in one after the other. In
terms of the stack, how does it do this? Suppose the stack is again filled with
1, 2, 3, and 4. Now enter and add two new numbers:

How CLEAR x Works

There are three ways to clear the contents of the X–register, that is, to clear x:
1. Press
2. Press a
3. Press z b {º} (Mainly used during program entry.)
Note these exceptions:
During program entry, a deletes the currently–displayed program line
and cancels program entry.
During digit entry, a backspaces over the displayed number.
If the display shows a labeled number (such as /)
), pressing

The LAST X register is a companion to the stack: it holds the number that was
in the X–register before the last numeric function was executed. (A numeric
function is an operation that produces a result from another number or
numbers, such as <.) Pressing z returns this value into the
X–register.
This ability to retrieve the "last x" has two main uses:
1. Correcting errors.
2. Reusing a number in a calculation.

LAST X register.
Correcting Mistakes with LAST X
Wrong One–Number Function
If you execute the wrong one–number function, use z to retrieve
the number so you can execute the correct function. (Press first if you
want to clear the incorrect result, from the stack.)
Since { P and { S don't cause the stack to drop, you can
recover from these functions in the same manner as from one–number
functions.
Example:
Suppose that you had just computed In 4.7839 × (3.879 × 105) and wanted
to find its square root, but pressed * by mistake. You don't have to start
over! To find the correct result, press z <.
Mistakes with a Two–number operation
If you make a mistake with a two–number operation, ( , , y, p,
0 or .), you can correct it by using z and inverse of the
two–number function ( or , por y, . or 0).
1. Press z to recover the second number (x just before the
operation).
2. Execute the inverse operation. This returns the number that was originally
first. The second number is still in the LAST X register. Then:
If you had used the wrong function, press z again to
restore the original stack contents. Now execute the correct function.
If you had used the wrong second number, key in the correct one and
execute the function.
If you had used the wrong first number, key in the correct first number, press
z to recover the second number, and execute the function again.
(Press first if you want to clear the incorrect result from the stack.)

Reusing Numbers with LAST X
You can use z to reuse a number (such as a constant) in a
calculation. Remember to enter the constant second, just before executing the
arithmetic operation, so that the constant is the last number in the X–register,
and therefore can be saved and retrieved with z

Chain Calculations
The automatic lifting and dropping of the stack's contents let you retain
intermediate results without storing or reentering them, and without using
parentheses.
Work from the Parentheses Out
For example, solve (12 + 3) × 7.
If you were working out this problem on paper, you would first calculate the
intermediate result of (12 + 3) ...
(12 + 3) = 1 5
… then you would multiply the intermediate result by 7:
(15) × 7 = 105
Solve the problem in the same way on the HP 32SII, starting inside the

Order of Calculation
We recommend solving chain calculations by working from the innermost
parentheses outward. However, you can also choose to work problems in a
left–to–right order.
For example, you have already calculated:
4 ÷ [14 + (7 × 3) – 2]
by starting with the innermost parentheses (7 × 3) and working outward,
just as you would with pencil and paper. The keystrokes were 7 3
y 14 2 4 Z p
If you work the problem from left–to–right, press
4 14 7 3 y 2 p.
This method takes one additional keystroke. Notice that the first intermediate
result is still the innermost parentheses (7 × 3). The advantage to working a
problem left–to–right is that you don't have to use Z to reposition
operands for nomcommutaiive functions ( and p ).
However, the first method (starting with the innermost parentheses) is often
preferred because:
It takes fewer keystrokes.
It requires fewer registers in the stack.
Note
When using the left–to–right method, be sure that no more
than four intermediate numbers (or results) will be needed at
one time (the stack can hold no more than four numbers).
The above example, when solved left–to–right, needed all registers in the
stack at one point:

Storing Data into Variables
The HP 32II has 384 bytes of user memory: memory that you can use to store
numbers, equations, and program lines. Numbers are stored in locations
called variables, each named with a letter from A through Z. (You can choose
the letter to remind you of what is stored there, such as B for bank balance
and C for the speed of light.)
3-1 Picture
1. Cursor prompts for variable.
2. Indicates letter keys are active.
3. Letter keys.
Each white letter is associated with a key and a unique variable. The letter
keys are automatically active when needed. (The A..Z annunciator in the
display confirms this.)
Note that the variables, X, Y, Z and T are different storage locations from the
X–register, Y–register, Z–register, and T–register in the stack.
Storing and Recalling Numbers
Numbers are stored into and recalled from lettered variables with the H
(store) and K(recll) functions.
To store a copy of a displayed number (X–register) to a variable:
Press H letter–key.
To recall a copy of a number from a variable to the display:
Press K letter–key.

that number in the X–register. The display is labeled for the variable, such as:
/)
If the number is too large to fit completely in the display with its label, it is
rounded and the rightmost digits are dropped. (An exponent is displayed in
full.) To see the full mantissa, press { .
In Fraction–display mode (z ), part of the integer may be dropped.
This will be indicated by "…" at the left end of the integer.
To see the full mantissa, press { . The integer part is the portion to
the left of the radix ( ) or 8 ).
{ is most often used in programming, but it is useful anytime you
want to view a variable's value without affecting the contents of t he stack.

Arithmetic with Stored Variables
Storage arithmetic and recall arithmetic allow you to do calculations with a
number stored in a variable without recalling the variable into the stack. A
calculation uses one number from the X–register and one number from the
specified variable.
Storage Arithmetic
Storage arithmetic uses H , H , H y, or H p to do
arithmetic in the variable itself and to store the result there. It uses the value in
the X–register and does riot affect the stack.
New value of variable = Previous value of variable {+, –, × , ÷} x.
For example, suppose you want to reduce the value in A(15) by the number in
the X–register (3, displayed). Press H A. Now A = 12, while 3 is still
in the display.

For example, suppose you want to divide the number in the X–register (3,

There is a 27th variables that you can access directly–the variable i. The

Although it stores numbers as other variables do, i is special in that it can be
used to refer to other variables, including the statistics registers, using the (i)

Programming Note:
Equations using inverse trigonometric functions to determine an angle θ, often
look something like this:
θ = arctan (y/x).
If x = 0, then y/x is undefined, resulting in the error: # &
. For a
program, then, it would be more reliable to determine θ by a rectangular– to
polar conversion, which converts (x,y) to (r,θ). See "Coordinate Conversions"

Conversion Functions
There are four types of conversions: coordinate (polar/rectangular), angular
(degrees/radians), time (decimal/minutes–seconds), and unit (cm/in, °C/°F,
l/gal, Kg/lb).
Coordinate Conversions
The function names for these conversions are y,x θ,r and θ,r y,x.
Polar coordinates (r,θ) and rectangular coordinates (x,y) are measured as
shown in the illustration. The angle θ uses units set by the current angular
mode. A calculated result for θ will be between –180° and 180°, between –π
and π radians, or between –200 and 200 grads.

θ
To convert between rectangular and polar coordinates:
1. Enter the coordinates (in rectangular or polar form) that you want to
convert. The order is y x or θ r.
2. Execute the conversion you want: press z q (rectangular–to–polar)
or { r (polar–to–rectangular). The converted coordinates occupy
the X– and Y–registers.
3. The resulting display (the X–register) shows either r (polar result) or x
(rectangular result). Press Z to see θ or y.

Fractions
"Fractions" in chapter 1 introduces the basics about entering, displaying, and
calculating with fractions:
To enter a fraction, press twice—after the integer part, and between
the numerator and denominator. To enter 2 3/8, press 2 3 8. To
enter 5/8, press 5 8 or 5 8.
To turn Fraction–display mode on and off, press z . When you
turn off Fraction–display mode, the display goes back to the previous
display format. (FIX, SCI, ENG, and ALL also turn off Fraction–display
mode.)
Functions work the same with fractions as with decimal numbers—except
for RND, which is discussed later in this chapter.
This chapter gives more information about using and displaying fractions.
Entering Fractions
You can type almost any number as a fraction on the keyboard — including
an improper fraction (where the numerator is larger than the denominator).
However, the calculator displays £ if you disregard these two restrictions.
The integer and numerator must not contain more than 12 digits total.
The denominator must not contain more than 4 digits.

If you didn't get the same results as the example, you may have accidentally
changed how fractions are displayed. (See "Changing the Fraction Display"
later in this chapter.)
The next topic includes more examples of valid and invalid input fractions.
You can type fractions only if the number base is 10 — the normal number
base. See chapter 10 for information about changing the number base.
Fractions in the Display
In Fraction–display mode, numbers are evaluated internally as decimal
numbers, then they're displayed using the most precise fractions allowed. In
addition, accuracy annunciators show the direction of any inaccuracy of the
fraction compared to its 12–digit decimal value. (Most statistics registers are
exceptions — they're always shown as decimal numbers.)
Display Rules
The fraction you see may differ from the one you enter. In its default condition,
the calculator displays a fractional number according to the following rules.
(To change the rules, see "Changing the Fraction Display" later in this
chapter.)
The number has an integer part and, if necessary, a proper fraction (the
numerator is less than the denominator).

Accuracy Indicators
The accuracy of a displayed fraction is indicated by the S and T
annunciators at the top of the display. The calculator compares the value of
the fractional part of the internal 12–digit number with the value of the
displayed fraction:
If no indicator is lit, the fractional part of the internal 12–digit value
exactly matches the value of the displayed fraction.
If T is fit, the fractional part of the internal 12–digit value is slightly less
than the displayed fraction — the exact numerator is no more than 0.5
below the displayed numerator.

This is especially important if you change the rules about how fractions are
displayed. (See "Changing the Fraction Display" later.) For example, if you
force all fractions to have 5 as the denominator, then 2/3 is displayed as S
+ because the exact fraction is approximately 3.3333/5, "a little above"
3/5. Similarly, –2/3 is displayed as S .
+5 because the true numerator is
"a little above" 3.
If you press z X {# } to view the VAR catalog, the ST annunciator
doesn't indicate accuracy — it means you can use and to move
through the list of variables. The accuracy isn't shown.
Sometimes an annunciator is lit when you wouldn't expect it to be. For
example, if you enter 2 2/3, you see S + , even though that's the exact
number you entered. The calculator always compares the fractional part of
the internal value and the 12–digit value of just the fraction. If the internal
value has an integer part, its fractional part contains less than 12 digits–and it
can't exactly match a fraction that uses all 12 digits.
Longer Fractions
If the displayed fraction is too long to fit in the display, it's shown with ... at
the beginning. The fraction part always fits — the ... means the integer part
isn't shown completely. To see the integer part (and the decimal fraction),
proms and hold { (You can't scroll a fraction in the display.)

Changing the Fraction Display
In its default condition, the calculator displays a fractional number according
to certain rules. (See "Display Rules" earlier in this chapter.) However, you
can change the rules according to how you want fractions displayed:
You can set the maximum denominator that's used.
You can select one of three fraction formats.
The next few topics show how to change the fraction display.
Setting the Maximum Denominator
For any fraction, the denominator is selected based on a value stored in the
calculator. If you think of fractions as a b/c, then /c corresponds to the value
that controls the denominator.
The /c value defines only the maximum denominator used in Fraction–display
mode — the specific denominator that's used is determined by the fraction
format (discussed in the next topic).
To set the /c value, press n {, where n is the maximum
denominator you want. n can't exceed 4095. This also turns on Fraction–
display mode.
To recall the /c value to the X–register, press 1 { .
To restore the default value or 4095, press 0 { . (You also restore

the default if you use 4095 or greater.) This also turns on
Fraction–display mode.
The /c function uses the absolute value of the integer part of the number in the
X–register. It doesn't change the value in the LAST X register.
Choosing Fraction Format
The calculator has three fraction formats. Regardless of the format, the
displayed fractions are always the closest fractions within the rules for that
format.
Most precise fractions. Fractions have any denominator up to the /c
value, and they're reduced as much as possible. For example, if you're
studying math concepts with fractions, you might want any denominator
to be possible (/c value is 4095). This is the default fraction format.
Factors of denominator. Fractions have only denominators that are
factors of the /c value, and they're reduced as much as possible. For
example, if you're calculating stock prices, you might want to see
+ and
+ (/c value is 8). Or if the /c value is 12, possible
denominators are 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Fixed denominator. Fractions always use the /c value as the
denominator—they're not reduced. For example, if you're working with
time measurements, you might want to see +
(/c value is 60).
To select a fraction format, you must change the states of two flags. Each flag
can be "set" or "clear," and in one case the state of flag 9 doesn't matter.

representation exactly. Otherwise, the accuracy indicator stays on, (See
"Accuracy Indicators" earlier in this chapter.)
In an equation or program, the RND function does fractional rounding if
Fraction–display mode is active.

Fractions in Programs
When you're typing a program, you can type a number as a fraction — but
it's converted to its decimal value. All numeric values in a program are shown

When you're running a program, displayed values are shown using
Fraction–display mode if it's active. If you're prompted for Values by INPUT
instructions, you may enter fractions, regardless of the display mode.
A program can control the fraction display using the /c function and by
setting and clearing flags 7, 8, and 9. Setting flag 7 turns on Fraction–display

How You Can Use Equations
You can use equations on the HP 32SII in several way:
For specifying an equation to evaluate (this chapter).
For specifying an equation to solve for unknown values (chapter 7).
For specifying a function to integrate (chapter 8).
Example: Calculating with an Equation.
Suppose you frequently need to determine the volume of a straight section of
pipe. The equation is
V = .25 π d2 l
There d is the inside diameter of the pipe, and l is its length.
You could key in the calculation over and over, for example, .25
{ M y 2.5 z : y 16 y calculates the volume of 16 inches of
2 1/2–inch diameter pipe (78.5398 cubic inches). However, by storing the
equation, you get the HP 32SII to "remember" the relationship between
diameter, length, and volume—so you can use it many times.

To enter an equation:
1. Make sure the calculator is in its normal operating mode, usually with a
number in the display. For example, you can't be viewing the catalog of
variables or programs.
2. Press { G. The EQN annunciator shows that Equation mode is
active, and an entry from the equation list is displayed.
3. Start typing the equation. The previous display is replaced by the equation
you're entering — the previous equation isn't affected. If you make a
mistake, press a as required.
4. Press to terminate the equation and see it in the display. The
equation is automatically saved in the equation list—right after the entry
that was displayed when you started typing. (If you press instead, the
equation is saved, but Equation mode is turned off.)
You can make an equation as long as you want—you're limited only by the
amount of memory available.
Equations can contain variables, numbers, functions, and parentheses —
they're described in the following topics. The example that follows illustrates
these elements.
Variables in Equations
You can use any of the calculator's 28 variables in an equation: A through Z,
i, and (i). You can use each variable as many times as you want. (For
information about (i), see "Indirectly Addressing Variables and Labels" in
chapter 13.)
To enter a variable in an equation, press K variable (or H variable).
When you press K, the A..Z annunciator shows that you can press a
variable key to enter its name in the equation.
Number in Equations
You can enter any valid number in an equation except fractions and numbers
that aren't base 10 numbers. Numbers are always shown using ALL display
format, which displays up to 12 characters.

To enter a number in an equation, you can use the standard number–entry
keys, including , _, and `. Press _ only after you type one or
more digits. Don't use _ for subtraction.
When you start entering the number, the cursor changes from "¾ " to "_" to
show numeric entry. The cursor changes back when you press a nonnumeric
key.
Functions in Equations
You can enter many HP 32SII functions in an equation. A complete list is
given tinder "Equation Functions" later in this chapter. Appendix F,
"Operation Index," also gives this information.
When you enter an equation, you enter functions in about the same way you
put them in ordinary algebraic equations:
In an equation, certain functions are normally shown between its
arguments, such as "+" and "÷". For such infix operators, enter them in
an equation in the same order.
Other functions normally have one or more arguments after the function
name, such as "COS" and "LN". For such prefix functions, enter them in
an equation where the function occurs—the key you press puts a left
parenthesis after the function name so you can enter its arguments.
If the function has two or more arguments, press o (on the f
key) to separate them.
If the function is followed by other operations, press { ] to complete
the function arguments — otherwise, you don't have to add the trailing
")".
If the first key in an equation is a function from the top row of keys on the
calculator, and if the displayed equation has the annunciator turned on,
you have to press { [SCRL] first to turn off the annunciator. (See
"Displaying and Selecting Equations" later in this chapter for more

Types of Equations
The HP 32SII works with three types of equations:
Equalities. The equation contains an "=" and the left side contains
more than just a single variable. For example, x2 + y2 = r2 is an equality.
Assignments. The equation contains an "=" and the left side contains
just a single variable. For example, A = 0.5 × b × h is an assignment.
6–10
Entering and Evaluating Equations

Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
Expressions. The equation does not contain an "=". For example, x3
+ 1 is an expression.
When you're calculating with an equation, you might use any type of
equation—although the type can affect how it's evaluated. When you're
solving a problem for an unknown variable, you'll probably use an equality
or assignment. When you're integrating a Function, you'll probably use an
expression.
Evaluating Equations
One of the most useful characteristics of equations is their ability to be
evaluated — to generate numeric values. This is what enables you to
calculate result from an equation. (It also enables you to solve and integrate
equations, as described in chapters 7 and 8).
Because many equations have two sides separated by "=", the basic value of
an equation is the difference between the values of the two sides. For this
calculation, "=" in an equation essentially treated as "_".
The value is a measure of lour well the equation balances.
The HP 32SII has two keys for evaluating equations: and W. Their
actions differ only in how they evaluate assignment equations:
W returns the value of the equation, regardless of the type: equation.
returns the value of the equation—unless it's an assignment–type
equation. For an assignment equation, returns the value f the
right side only, and also "enters" that value into the variable on the left
side — it stores the value in the variable.

Expression: f(x)
Example: x3 + 1

Also stores the result in the left–hand variable, A for example.
To evaluate an equation:
1. Display the desired equation. (See "Displaying and Selecting Equations"
above.)
2. Press or W. The equation prompts for a value for each
variable needed. (If you've changed the number base, it's automatically
changed back to base 10.)
3. For each prompt, enter the desired value:
If the displayed value is good, press f.
If you want, a different value, type the value and press f. (Also see
"Responding to Equation Prompts" later in this chapter.)
The evaluation of an equation takes no values from the stack — it uses only
numbers in the equation and variable values. The value of the equation is
returned to the X–register. The LAST X register isn't affected.
Using ENTER for Evaluation
If an equation is displayed in the equation list, you can press to
evaluate the equation. (If you're in the process of typing the equation,
pressing only ends the equation—it doesn't evaluate it.)

If the equation is an assignment, only the right–hand side is evaluated.
The result is returned to the X–register and stored in the left–hand
variable, then the variable is VIEWed in the display. Essentially,
finds the value of the left–hand variable.
If the equation is an equality or expression, the entire equation is
evaluated — just as it is for W. The result is returned to the X–register.

For convenience, prefix–type functions, which require one or two arguments,
display a left parenthesis when you enter them.
The prefix functions that require two arguments are %CHG, XROOT, Cn,r and
Pn,r. Separate the two arguments with a space.
In an equation, the XROOT function takes its arguments in the opposite order
from RPN usage. For example, –8 3 . to is equivalent to
% !1. 2 .
All other two–argument functions take their arguments in the Y, X order used
for RPN. For example, 28 4 {Q8T } is equivalent to Q8T1 2.
For two–argument functions, be careful if the second argument is negative.
The second argument must not start with "subtraction" ( ). For a number,
use _. For a variable, use parentheses and . These are valid equations:

Syntax Errors
The calculator doesn't check the syntax of an equation until you evaluate the
equation and respond to all the prompts–only when a value is actually being
calculated. If an error is detected, # is displayed. You have to
edit the equation to correct the error. (See "Editing and Clearing Equations"
earlier in this chapter.)
By not checking equation syntax until evaluation, the HP 32SII lets you create
"equations" that might actually be messages. This is especially useful in
programs, as described in chapter 12.
Verifying Equations
When you're viewing an equation — not while you're typing an equation —
you can press { to show you two things about the equation: the
equation's checksum and its length. Hold the key to keep the values
in the display.
The checksum is a four–digit hexadecimal value that uniquely identifies this
equation. No other equation will have this value. If you enter the equation
incorrectly, it will not have this checksum. The length is the number of bytes of
calculator memory used by the equation.

Solving Equations
In chapter 6 you saw how you can use to find the value of the
left–hand variable in an assignment–type equation. Well, you can use SOLVE
to find the value of any variable in any type of equation.
For example, consider the equation
x2 – 3y = 10
If you know the value of y in this equation, then SOLVE can solve for the
unknown x. If you know the value of x, then SOLVE can solve for the unknown
y. This works for "word problems" just as well:
Markup × Cost = Price
If you know any two of these variables, then SOLVE can calculate the value of
the third.
When the equation has only one variable, or when known values are
supplied for all variables except one, then to solve for x is to find a root of the
equation. A root of an equation occurs where an equality or assignment
equation balances exactly, or where an expression equation equals zero.
(This is equivalent to the value of the equation being zero.)
Solving an Equation
To solve an equation for an unknown variable:
1. Press { G and display the desired equation. If necessary, type the
equation as explained in chapter under "Entering Equations into the
Equation List."
2. Press { then press the key for the unknown variable. For

Understanding and Controlling SOLVE
SOLVE uses an iterative (repetitive) procedure to solve for the unknown
variable. The procedure starts by evaluating the equation using two initial
guesses for the unknown variable. Based on the results with those two guesses,
SOLVE generates another, better guess. Through successive iterations, SOLVE
finds a value for the unknown that makes the value of the equation equal to
zero.
Solving Equations

Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
7–5
When SOLVE evaluates an equation, it does it the same way W does —
any "=" in the equation is treated as a " – " For example, the Ideal Gas Law
equation is evaluated as P × V – (N × R × T). This ensures that an equality or
assignment equation balances at the root, and that an expression equation
equals zero at the root.
Some equations are more difficult to solve than others. In some cases, you
need to enter initial guesses in order to find a solution. (See "Choosing Initial
Guesses for SOLVE," below.) If SOLVE is unable to find a solution, the
calculator displays ! .
See appendix C for more information about how SOLVE works.
Verifying the Result
After the SOLVE calculation ends, you can verify that the result is indeed a
solution of the equation by reviewing the values left in the stack:
The X–register (press to clear the VIEWed variable) contains the
solution (root) for the unknown; that is, the value that makes the
evaluation of the equation equal to zero,
The Y–register (press 9) contains the previous estimate for the root. This
number should be the same as the value in the X–register. If it is not, then
the root returned was only an approximation, and the values in the X–
and Y–registers bracket the root. These bracketing numbers should be
close together.
The Z– register (press 9 again) contains this value of the equation at
the root. For an exact root, this should be zero. If it is not zero, the root
given was only an approximation; this number should be close to zero.
If a calculation ends with the ! , the calculator could not
converge on a root. (You can see the value in the X–register — the final
estimate of the root — by pressing or a to clear the message.) The
values in the X– and Y–registers bracket the interval that was last searched to
find the root. The Z–register contains the value of the equation at the final
estimate of the root.
If the X– and Y–register values aren't close together, or the Z–register
value isn't close to zero, the estimate from the X–register probably isn't a

root.
If the X– and Y–register values are close together, and the Z–register
value is close to zero, the estimate from the X–register may be an
approximation to a root.
Interrupting a SOLVE Calculation
To halt a calculation, press or f. The current best estimate of the root
is in the unknown variable; use { to view it without disturbing the
stack.
Choosing Initial Guesses for SOLVE
The two initial guesses come from:
The number currently stored in the unknown variable.
The number in the X–register (the display).
These sources are used for guesses whether you enter guesses or not. If you
enter only one guess and store it in the variable, the second guess will be the
same value since the display also holds the number you just stored in the
variable. (If such is the case, the calculator changes one guess slightly so that
it has two different guesses.)
Entering your own guesses has the following advantages:
By narrowing the range of search, guesses can reduce the time to find a
solution.
If there is more than one mathematical solution, guesses can direct tote
SOLVE procedure to the desired answer or range of answers. For
example, the equation of linear motion
d = v0 t + 1/2 gt2
can have two solutions for t. You can direct the answer to the only
meaningful one (t > 0) by entering appropriate guesses.
The example using this equation earlier in this chapter didn't require you

to enter guesses before solving for T because in the first part of that
example you stored a value for T and solved for D. The value that was left
in T was a good (realistic) one, so it was used as a guess when solving
for T.
If an equation does not allow certain values for the unknown, guesses
can prevent these values from occurring. For example,
y = t + log x
results in an error if x ≤ 0 (messages 1
2 or 12 ).
In the following example, the equation has more than one root, but guesses
help find the desired root.
Example. Using Guesses to Find a Root.
Using a rectangular piece of sheet metal 40 cm by 80 cm, form an open–top
box having a volume of 7500 cm3. You need to find the height of the box
(that is, the amount to be folded up along each of the four sides) that gives the
specified volume. A taller box is preferred to a shorter one.

If H is the height, then the length of the box is (80 – 2H) and the width is (40 –
2H). The volume V is:
V = ( 80 – 2H ) × (40 – 2H ) × H
which you can simplify and enter as
V= ( 40 – H ) × ( 20 – H ) × 4 × H

It seems reasonable that either a tall, narrow box or a short, flat box could be
formed having the desired volume. Because the taller box is preferred, larger
initial estimates of the height are reasonable. However, heights greater than
20 cm are not physically possible because the metal sheet is only 40 cm wide.
Initial estimates of 10 and 20 cm are therefore appropriate.

The dimensions of the desired box are 50 × 10 × 15 cm. If you ignored the
upper limit on the height (20 cm) and used initial estimates of 30 and 40 cm,
you would obtain a height of 42.0256 cm — a root that is physically
meaningless. If you used small initial estimates such as 0 and 10 cm, you
would obtain a height of 2.9774 cm — producing an undesirably short, flat
box.
If you don't know what guesses to use, you can use a graph to help the
behavior of the equation. Evaluate your equation for several values of the
unknown. For each point on the graph, display the equation and press
W— at the prompt for x enter the x–coordinate, and then obtain the
corresponding value of the equation, the y–coordinate. For the problem
above, you would always set V = 7500 and vary the value of H to produce
different values for the equation. Remember that the value for this equation is
the difference between the left and right sides of the equation. The plot of the
value of this equation looks like this.

x = b (provided that f(x) is nonnegative throughout the interval of integration).

Accuracy of Integration
Since the calculator cannot compute the value of an integral exactly, it
approximates it. The accuracy of this approximation depends on the
accuracy of the integrand's function itself, as calculated by your equation.
This is affected by round–off error in the calculator and the accuracy of the
empirical constants.
Integrals of functions with certain characteristics such as spikes or very rapid
oscillations might be calculated inaccurately, but the likelihood is very small.
The general characteristics of functions that can cause problems, as well as
techniques for dealing with them, are discussed in appendix D.
Specifying Accuracy
The display format's setting (FIX, SCI, ENG, or ALL) determines the precision
of the integration calculation, the greater the number of digits displayed, the
greater the precision of the calculated integral (and the greater the time
required to calculate it.). The fewer the number of digits displayed, the faster
the calculation, but the calculator will presume that the function is accurate to
only the number of digits specified in the display format.
To specify the accuracy of the integration, set the display format so that the
display shows no more than the number of digits that you consider accurate in
the integrand's values. This same level of accuracy and precision will be
reflected in the result of integration.
If Fraction–display mode is on (flag 7 set), the accuracy is specified by the
previous display format.

Using Complex Number in Polar Notation
Many applications use real numbers in polar form or polar notation. These
forms use pairs of numbers, as do complex numbers, so you can do arithmetic
with these numbers by using the complex operations. Since the HP 32SII's
complex operations work on numbers in rectangular form, convert polar form
to rectangular form (using {r before executing the complex
operation, then convert the result back to polar form.

Arithmetic in bases 2, 8, and 16 is in 2's complement form and uses integers
only:
If a number has a fractional part, only the integer part is used for an
arithmetic calculation.
The result of an operation is always an integer (any fractional portion is
truncated).
Whereas conversions change only the displayed number and not the number
in the X–register, arithmetic does alter the number in the X–register.
If the result of an operation cannot be represented in 36 bits, the display
shows # $ and then shows the largest positive or negative number
possible.

Here are some examples of arithmetic in Hexadecimal, Octal, and Binary
modes:

The Representation of Numbers
Although the display of a number is converted when the base is changed, its
stored form is not modified, so decimal numbers are not truncated — until
they are used in arithmetic calculations.
When a number appears in hexadecimal, octal, or binary base, it is shown
as a right–justified integer with up to 36 bits (12 octal digits or 9 hexadecimal
digits). Leading zeros are riot displayed, but they are important because they
indicate a positive number. For example, the binary representation of 12510
is displayed as:
11111101
which is the same as these 36 digits:
000000000000000000000000000001111101
Negative Numbers
The leftmost (most significant or "highest") bit of a number's binary
representation is the sign bit; it is set (1) for negative numbers. If there are
(undisplayed) leading zeros, then the sign bit is 0 (positive). A negative
number is the 2's complement of its positive binary number.

Range of Numbers
The 36-bit word size determines the range of numbers that can be

(36 digits), and the range of decimal numbers (11 digits) that can be
converted to these other bases.

1. Press z b {Σ} to clear existing statistical data.
2. Key in each x–value and press 6.
3. The display shows n, the number of statistical data values now
accumulated.
Pressing 6 actually enters two variables into the statistics registers because
the value already in the Y–register is accumulated as the y–value. For this
reason, the calculator will perform linear regression and show you values
based on y even when you have entered only x–data — or even if you have
entered an unequal number of x–and y–values. No error occurs, but the
results are obviously not meaningful.
To recall a value to the display immediately after it has been entered, press
z .
Entering Two–Variable Data
When your data consist of two variables, x is the independent variable and y
is the dependent variable. Remember to enter an (x, y) pair in reverse order (y
x) so that y ends up in the Y–register and X in the X–register.
Press z b {Σ} to clear existing statistical data.

Correcting Errors in Data Entry
If you make a mistake when entering statistical data, delete the incorrect data
and add the correct data. Even if only one value of an x, y–pair is incorrect,
you must delete and reenter both values.
To correct statistical data:
1. Reenter the incorrect data, but instead of pressing 6, press z 4.
This deletes the value(s) and decrements n.
2. Enter the correct value(s) using 6.
If the incorrect values were the ones just entered, press z to
retrieve them, then press z 4 to delete them. (The incorrect y–value was

Limitations on Precision of Data
Since the calculator uses finite precision (12 to 15 digits), it follows that there
are limitations to calculations due to rounding. Here are two examples:

Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
Normalizing Close, Large Numbers
The calculator might be unable to correctly calculate the standard deviation
and linear regression for a variable whose data values differ by a relatively
small amount. To avoid this, normalize the data by entering each value as the
difference from one central value (such as the mean). For normalized
x–values, this difference must then be added back to the calculation of x
and x
ˆ , and yˆ and b roust also be adjusted. For example, if your x–values
were 7776999, 7777000, and 7777001, you should enter the data as –1,
0, and 1; then add 7777000 back to x and x
ˆ . For b, add back
ˆ , be sure to supply an x–value that is less
7777000 × m. To calculate y
7777000.
Similar inaccuracies can result if your x and y values have greatly different
magnitudes. Again, scaling the data can avoid this problem.
Effect of Deleted Data
Executing z 4 does not delete any rounding errors that might have been
generated in the statistics registers by the original data values. This difference
is not serious unless the incorrect data have a magnitude that is enormous
compared with the correct data; in such a case, it would be wise to clear and
reenter all the data.
Summation Values and the Statistics Registers
The statistics registers are six unique locations in memory that store the
accumulation of the six summation values.
Summation Statistics
Pressing { 5 gives you access to the contents of the statistics
registers:
Press {Q } to recall the number of accumulated data sets.
Press {º } to recall the sum of the x–values.

Simple Programming
Part 1 of this manual introduced you to functions and operations that you can
use manually, that is, by pressing a key for each individual operation. And
you saw how you can use equations to repeat calculations without doing all
of the keystrokes each time.
In part 2, you'll learn how you can use programs for repetitive
calculations —–calculations that may involve more input or output control or
more intricate logic. A program lets you repeat operations and calculations in
the precise manner you want.
In this chapter you will learn how to program a series of operations. In the
next chapter, "Programming Techniques," you will learn about subroutines
and conditional instructions.
Example: A Simple Program.
To find the area of a circle with a radius of 5, you would use the
formula A = π r2 and press
5z:{My
to get the result for this circle, 78.5398.
But what if you wanted to find the area of many different circles?
Rather than repeat the given keystrokes each time (varying only the "5" for
the different radii), you can put the repeatable keystrokes into a program:

The following topics show what instructions you can put in a program. What
you put in a program affects how it appears when you view it and how it
works when you run it.

Program Boundaries (LBL and RTN)
If you want more than one program stored in program memory, then a
program needs a label to mark its beginning (such as
) and a
return to mark its end (such as
!).
Notice–that the line numbers acquire an to match their label.
Program Labels
Programs and segments of programs (called routines) should start with a label.
To record a label, press:
z letter–key
The label is a single letter from A through Z. The letter keys are used as they
are for variables (as discussed in chapter 3). You cannot assign the same
label more than once (this causes the message " !) ), but a
label can use the same letter that a variable uses.
It is possible to have one program (the top one) in memory without any label.
However, adjacent programs need a label between them to keep them
distinct.
Program Line Numbers
Line numbers are preceded by the letter for the label, such as
.
If one label's routine has more than 99 lines, then the line number appears
with a decimal point instead of the leftmost number, such as )
for line
101 in label A. For more than 199 lines, the line number uses a comma, such
as 8
for line 201.
Program Returns
Programs and subroutines should end with a return instruction. The keystrokes
are:
{
When a program finishes running, the last RTN instruction returns the
program pointer to ! , the top of program memory.

Using RPN and Equations in Programs
You can calculate in programs the same ways you calculate on the.
keyboard:
Using RPN operations (which work with the stack, as explained in
chapter 2).
Using equations (as explained in chapter 6).
The previous example used a series of RPN operations to calculate the area of
the circle. Instead, you could have used an equation in the program. (An
example follows later in this chapter.) Many programs are a. combination of
RPN and equations, using the strengths of both.
Strengths of RPN Operations
Strengths of Equations
Use less memory.
Easier to write and read.
Execute a bit faster.
Can automatically prompt.
When a program executes a line containing an equation, the equation is
evaluated in the same way that W evaluates an equation in the equation
list. For program evaluation, "=" in an equation is essentially treated as "–".
(There's no programmable equivalent to for an assignment
equation—other than writing the equation as an expression, then using STO
to store the value in a variable.)
For both types of calculations, you can include RPN instructions to control
input, output, and program flow.
Data Input and Output
For programs that need more than one input or return more than one output,
you can decide how you want the program to enter and return information.
For input, you can prompt for a variable with the INPUT instruction, you can
get an equation to prompt for its variables, or you can take values entered in
advance onto the stack.

For output, you can display a variable with the VIEW instruction, you can
display a message derived from an equation, or you can leave unmarked
values on the stack.
These are covered later in this chapter tinder "Entering and Displaying Data."
Entering a Program
Pressing z d toggles the calculator into and out of Program–entry
mode — turns the PRGM annunciator on and off. Keystrokes in
Program–entry mode are stored as program lines in memory. Each instruction
or number occupies one program line, and there is no limit (other than
available memory) on the number of lines in a program.
To enter a program into memory:
1. Press z d to activate Program–entry mode.
2. Press z U to display ! . This sets the program
pointer to a known spot, before any other programs. As you enter
program lines, they are inserted before all other program lines.
If you don't need any other programs that might be in memory, clear
program memory by pressing z b { }. To confirm that you
want all programs deleted, press {& } after the message @ & .
3. Give the program a label—a single letter, A through Z. Press z
letter. Choose a letter that will remind you of the program, such as "A" for
"area."
If the message " !) is displayed, use a different letter. You
can clear the existing program instead—press z X { }, use
z or z to find the label, and press z b and
.
4. To record calculator operations as program instructions, press the same
keys you would to do an operation manually. Remember that many
functions don't appear on the keyboard but must be accessed using menus.
To enter an equation in a program line, see the instructions below.

5. End the program with a return instruction, which sets the program pointer
back to ! after the program runs. Press { .
6. Press (or z d ) to cancel program entry.
Numbers in program lines are stored as precisely as you entered them, and
they're displayed using ALL or SCI format. (If a long number is shortened in
the display, press { to view all digits.)
To enter an equation in a program line:
1. Press { G to activate Equation–entry mode, The EQN annunciator
turns on.
2. Enter the equation as you would in the equation list. See chapter 6 for
details. Use a to correct errors as you type.
3. Press to terminate the equation and display its left end. (The
equation does not become part of the equation list.)
After you've entered an equation, you can press { to see its
checksum and length. Hold the key to keep the values in the display.
For a long equation, the and annunciators show that scrolling is active
for this program line. You can use 6 and < to scroll the display. Press
{ [SCRL] to turn off and to use the top–row keys to enter program
instructions
Keys That Clear
Note these special conditions during program entry:
always cancels program entry. It never clears a number to zero.
If the program line doesn't contain an equation, a deletes the current
program line. It backspaces if a digit is being entered ("_" cursor
present).
If the program line contains an equation, a begins editing the
equation. It deletes the rightmost function or variable if an equation is
being entered ("¾ " cursor present).
z b { } deletes a program lime if it contains an equation.
To program a function to clear the K–register, use z b {º }.

Function Names in Programs
Then name of function that is used in a program line is not necessarily the
same as the function's name on its key, in its menu, or in an equation. The
name that is used in a program is usually a fuller abbreviation than that which
can fit on a key or in a menu. This fuller name appears briefly in the display
whenever you execute a function — as long as you hold down the key, the
name is displayed.
Example: Entering a Labeled Program.
The following keystrokes delete the previous program for the area of a circle
and enter a new one that includes a label and a return instruction. If you make
a mistake during entry, press a to delete the current program line, then
reenter the line correctly.

Testing a Program
If you know there is an error in a program, but are not sure where the error is,
then a good way to test the program is by stepwise execution. It is also a
good idea to test a long or complicated program before relying on it. By
stepping through its execution, one line at a time, you can see the result after
each program line is executed, so you can verify the progress of known data
whose correct results are also known.
1. As for regular execution, make sure program entry is not active (PRGM
annunciator off).
2. Press z U label to set the program pointer to the start of the
program (that is, at its LBL instruction). The ! instruction moves the
program pointer without starting execution. (If the program is the first or

beginning.)
3. Press and hold z . This displays the current program line. When
you release , the line is executed. The result of that execution is then
displayed (it is in the X–register).
To move to the preceding line, you can press z . No execution
occurs.
4. The program pointer moves to the next line. Repeat step 3 until you find an
error (an incorrect result occurs) or reach the end of the program.
If Program–entry mode is active, then z or z simply changes
the programs pointer, without executing lines. Holding down an arrow key
during program entry makes the lines roll by automatically.

Entering and Displaying Data
The calculator's variables are used to store data input, intermediate results,
and final results. (Variables, as explained in chapter 3, are identified by a
letter from A through Z or i, but the variable names have nothing to do with
program labels.)
In a program, you can get data in these ways:
From an INPUT instruction, which prompts for the value of a variable.
(This is the most handy technique.)
From the stack. (You can use STO to store the value in a variable for later
use.)
From variables that already have values stored.
From automatic equation prompting (if enabled by flag 11 set).
(This is also handy if you're using equations.)
In a program, you can display information in these ways:
With a VIEW instruction, which shows the name and value of a variable.
(This is the most handy technique.)
On the stack—only the value in the X–register is visible. (You can use PSE
for a 1–second look at the X–register.)
In a displayed equation (if enabled by flag 10 set). (The "equation" is
usually a message, not a true equation.)
Some of these input and output techniques are described in the following
topics.
Using INPUT for Entering Data
The INPUT instruction ( a Variable ) stops a running program and
displays a prompt for the given variable. This display includes the existing
value for the variable, such as
@
)
where
Simple Programming 12–11
File name 32sii-Manual-E-0424
Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
"R" is the variable's name,
"?" is the prompt for information, and
0.0000 is the current value stored in the variable.
Press f (run/stop) to resume the program. The value you keyed in then
writes over the contents of the X–register and is stored in the given variable. If
you have not changed the displayed value, then that value is retained in the
X–register.
The area–of–a–circle program with an INPUT instruction looks like this:
"!
º
π
º
!
To use the INPUT function in a program:
1. Decide which data values you will need, and assign them names.
(In the area–of–a–circle example, the only input needed is the radius,
which we can assign to R.)
2. In the beginning of the program, insert an INPUT instruction for each
variable whose value you will need. Later in the program, when you write
the part of the calculation that needs a given value, insert a K variable
instruction to bring that value back into the stack.
Since the INPUT instruction also leaves the value you just entered in the
X–register, you don't have to recall the variable at a later time — you
could INPUT it and use it when you need it. You might be able to save
some memory space this way. However, in a long program it is simpler to
just input all your data up front, and then recall individual variables as you
need them.
Remember also that the user of the program can do calculations while the
program is stopped, waiting for input. This can alter the contents of the
stack, which might affect the next calculation to be done by the program.
12–12 Simple Programming

Thus the program should not assume that the X–, Y–, and Z–registers'
contents will be the same before and after the INPUT instruction. If you
collect, all the data in the beginning and then recall then when needed for
calculation, then this prevents the stack's contents from being altered just,
before a calculation.
For example, see the "Coordinate Transformations" program in chapter 15.
Routine D collects all the necessary input for the variables M, N, and T (lines
D02 through D04) that define the x and y coordinates and angle θ of a new
system.
To respond to a prompt:
Mien you run the program, it will stop at each INPUT and prompt you for that
variable, such as @
)
. The value displayed (and the contents of the
X–register) will be the current contents of R.
To leave the number unchanged, just press f.
To change the number, type the new number and press f, This
new number writes over the old value in the X–register. You can enter a
number as a fraction if you want. If you need to calculate a number, use
normal keyboard calculations, then press f. For example, you can
press 2 5 0 f.
To calculate with the displayed number, press before
typing another number.
To cancel the INPUT prompt, press . The current value for the
variable remains in the X–register. If you press f to resume the
program, the canceled INPUT prompt is repeated. If you press
during digit entry, it clears the number to zero. Press again to cancel
the INPUT prompt.
To display digits hidden by the prompt, press { . (If
it is a binary number with more than 12 digits, use the and < and
6 keys to see the rest.)

Using VIEW for Displaying Data
The programmed VIEW instruction { variable stops a running
program and displays and identifies the contents of the given variable, such
as
/
)
This is a display only, and does not copy the number to the X–register. If
Fraction–display mode is active, the value is displayed as a fraction.
Pressing copies this number to the X–register.
If the number is wider than 10 characters, pressing {
displays the entire number. (If it is a binary number with more than 12
digits, use the < and 6 keys to see the rest.)
Pressing (or a ) erases the VIEW display and shows the
X–register.
Pressing z b clears the contents of the displayed variable.
Press f to continue the program,
If you don't want the program to stop, see "Displaying Information without
Stopping" below.
For example, see the program for "Normal and Inverse–Normal
Distributions" in chapter 16. Lines T15 and T16 at, the end of the T routine
display the result for X. Note also that this VIEW instruction in this program is
preceded by a RCL instruction. The RCL instruction is not necessary, but it is
convenient because it brings the VIEWed variable to the X–register, making it
available for manual calculations. (Pressing while viewing a VIEW
display would have the same effect.) The other application programs in
chapters 15 through 17 also ensure that the VIEWed variable is in the
X–register as well — except for the "Polynomial Root Finder" program.
Using Equations to Display Messages
Equations aren't checked for valid syntax until they're evaluated. This means
you can enter almost any sequence of characters into a program as an
equation — you enter it just as you enter any equation. On any program line,

press { G to start the equation. Press number and math keys to get
numbers and symbols. Press K before each letter. Press to end the
equation.
If flag 10 is set, equations are displayed instead of being evaluated. This
means you can display any message you enter as are equation. (Flags are
discussed in detail in chapter 13.)

Displaying Information without Stopping
Normally, a program stops when it displays a variable with VIEW or displays
an equation message. You normally have to press f to resume execution.
If you want, you can make the program continue while the information is
displayed. If the next program line — after a VIEW instruction or a viewed
equation — contains a PSE (pause) instruction, the information is displayed
and execution continues after a 1–second pause. In this case, no scrolling or
keyboard input is allowed.
The display is cleared by other display operations, and by the RND operation
if flag 7 is set (rounding to a fraction).
Press { e to enter PSE in a program.
The VIEW and PSE lines–or the equation and PSE lines — are treated as one
operation when you execute a program one line at a time.

Stopping or Interrupting a Program
Programming a Stop or Pause (STOP, PSE)
Pressing f (run/stop) during program entry inserts a STOP instruction.
This will halt a running program until you resume it by pressing f
from the keyboard. You can use STOP rather than RTN in order to end a
program without returning the program pointer to the top of memory.
Pressing { e during program entry inserts a PSE (pause) instruction.
This will suspend a running program and display the contents of the
X–register for about 1 second — with the following exception. If PSE
immediately follows a VIEW instruction or an equation that's displayed
(flag 10 set), the variable or equation is displayed instead — and the
display remains after the 1–second pause.
Interrupting a Running Program
You can interrupt a running program at any time by pressing or f.
The program completes its current instruction before stopping. Press f
(run/stop) to resume the program.
If you interrupt a program and then press W, z U, or { ,
you cannot resume the program with f. Reexecute the program instead
( W label).
Error Stops
If an error occurs in the course of a running program, program execution halts
and an error message appears in the display. (There is a list of messages and
conditions in appendix E.)
To see the line in the program containing the error–causing instruction, Press
z d. The program will have stopped at that point, (For instance, it
might be a÷ instruction, which caused an illegal division by zero.)

Editing Program
You can modify a program in program memory by inserting, deleting, and
editing program lines. If a program line contains an equation, you can edit
the equation—if any other program line requires even a minor change, you
must delete the old line and insert a new one.
To delete a program line:
1. Select the relevant program or routine ( z U label), activate
program entry ( z d ), and press z or z ) to
locate the program line that must be changed. Hold the arrow key down to
continue scrolling. (If you know the line number you want, pressing z
U label nn moves the program pointer there.)
2. Delete the line you want to change—if it contains an equation, press z
b { }; otherwise, press a. The pointer then moves to the
preceding line. (If you are deleting more than one consecutive program
line, start with the last line in the group.)
3. Key in the new instruction, if any. This replaces the one you deleted.
4. Exit program entry or d ).
To insert a program line:
1. Locate and display the program line that is before the spot where you
would like to insert a line.
2. Key in the new instruction; it is inserted after the currently displayed line.
For example, if you wanted to insert a new line between lines A04 and A05 of
a program, you would first display line A04, then key in the instruction or
instructions. Subsequent program lines, starting with the original line A05, are
moved down and renumbered accordingly.
To edit an equation in a program line:
1. Locate and display the program line containing the equation.
2. Press a. This turns on the "¾" editing cursor, but does riot delete
anything in the equation.
3. Press a as required to delete the function or number you want to change,

then enter the desired corrections.
4. Press to end the equation.
Program Memory
Viewing Program Memory
Pressing z d toggles the calculator into and out of program entry
(PRGM annunciator on, program lines displayed). When Program–entry
mode is active, the contents of program memory are displayed.
Program memory starts at ! . The list of program lines is circular, so
you can wrap the program pointer froze the bottom to the top and reverse.
While program entry is active, there are three ways to change the program
pointer (the displayed line):
Use the arrow keys, z and z . Pressing z at the
last line wraps the pointer around to ! , while pressing z
at ! wraps the pointer around to the last program line.
To move more than one line at a time ("scrolling"), continue to hold the
or key.
Press U to move the program pointer to ! .
Press U label nn to move to a labeled line number less than
100.
If Program–entry mode is riot active (if no program lines are displayed), you
can also move the program pointer by pressing z U label.
Canceling Program–entry mode does not change the position of the program
pointer.
Memory Usage
Each program line uses a certain amount of memory:
Numbers use 9.5 bytes, except for integer numbers from 0 through 254,
12–20 Simple Programming
File name 32sii-Manual-E-0424
Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
which use only 1.5 bytes.
All other instructions use 1.5 bytes.
Equations use 1.5 bytes, plus 1.5 bytes for each function, plus 9.5 or 1.5
bytes for each number. Each "(" and each ")" uses 1.5 bytes except "("
for prefix functions.
If during program entry you encounter the message & " , then
there is not enough room in program memory for the line you just tried to enter.
You can make more room available by clearing programs or other data. See
"Clearing One or More Programs" below, or "Managing calculator Memory"
in appendix B.
The Catalog of Programs (MEM)
The catalog of programs is a list of all program labels with the number of
bytes of memory used by each label and the lines associated with it. Press
z X { } to display the catalog, and press z or z
to move within the list. You can use this catalog to:
Review the labels in program memory and the memory cost of each
labeled program or routine.
Execute a labeled program. (Press W or f while the label is
displayed.)
Display a labeled program. (Press z d while the label is
displayed.)
Delete specific programs. (Press z b while the label is
displayed.)
See the checksum associated with a given program segment. (Press {
.)
The catalog shows you how many bytes of memory each labeled program
segment uses. The programs are identified by program label:

The message @ & prompts you for confirmation. Press {& }.
Press z d to cancel program entry.
Clearing all of memory (z b {}) also clears all programs.
The Checksum
The checksum is a unique hexadecimal value given to each program label
and its associated lines (until the next label). This number is useful for
comparison with a known checksum for an existing program that you have
keyed into program memory. If the known checksum and the one shown by
your calculator are the same, then you have correctly entered all the lines of
the program, To see your checksum:
1. Press z X { } for the catalog of program labels.
2. Display the appropriate label by using the arrow keys, if necessary.
3. Press and hold { to display /value length.
For example, to see the checksum for the current program (the "cylinder"
program):

If your checksum does not match this number, then you have not entered this
program correctly.
You will see that all of the application programs provided in chapters 15
through 17 include checksum values with each labeled routine so that you
can verify the accuracy of your program entry.
In addition, each equation in a program has a checksum. See "To enter an
equation in a program line" earlier in this chapter.

Programming with BASE
You can program instructions to change the base mode using z w.
These settings work in programs just as they do as functions executed from the
keyboard. This allows you to write programs that accept numbers in any of
the four bases, do arithmetic in any base, and display results in any base.
When writing programs that use numbers in a base other than 10, set the
base mode both as the current setting for the calculator and in the program
(as an instruction).

Selecting a Base Mode in a Program
Insert a BIN, OCT, or HEX instruction into the beginning of the program. You
should usually include a DEC instruction at the end of the program so that the
calculator's setting will revert, to Decimal mode when the program is done.
An instruction in a program to change the base mode will determine bow
input is interpreted and how output looks during and after program execution,
but it does not affect the program lines as you enter them.
Equation evaluation, SOLVE, and ∫ FN automatically set Decimal mode.
Numbers Entered in Program Lines
Before starting program entry, set the base mode. The current setting for the
base mode determines the base of the numbers that are entered into program
lines. The display of these numbers changes when you change the base
mode.
Program line numbers always appear in base 10.
An annunciator tells you which base is the current setting. Compare the
program lines below in the left and right columns. All non–decimal numbers
are right justified in the calculator's display. Notice how the number 13
appears as "D" in Hexadecimal mode.

Polynomial Expressions and Horner's Method
Some expressions, such as polynomials, use the same variable several times
for their solution. For example, the expression
Ax4 + Bx3 + Cx2 + Dx + E
uses the variable x four different times. A program to calculate such an
expression using RPN operations could repeatedly recall a stored copy of x
from a variable. A shorter RPN programming method, however, would be to
use a stack which has been filled with the constant (see "Filling the Stack with
a Constant" in chapter 2).
Rorer's Method is a useful means of rearranging polynomial expressions to
cut calculation steps and calculation time. It is especially expedient with
SOLVE and ∫ FN, two relatively complex operations that use subroutines.
This method involves rewriting a polynomial expression in a nested fashion to
eliminate exponents greater than 1:
Ax4 + 13x3 + Cx2+D x + E
(Ax3 + Bx2 + Cx + D ) x + E
((Ax2 + Bx + C ) x + D )x + E
(((Ax + B )x + C ) x + D )x + E

Programming Techniques
Chapter 12 covered the basics of programming. This chapter explores more
sophisticated but useful techniques:
Using subroutines to simplify programs by separating and labeling
portions of the program that are dedicated to particular tasks. The use of
subroutines also shortens a program that must perform a series of steps
more than once.
Using conditional instructions (comparisons and flags) to determine
which instructions or subroutines should be used,
Using loops with counters to execute a set of instructions a certain
number of times.
Using indirect addressing to access different variables using the same
program instruction.
Routines in Programs
A program is composed of one or more routines. A routine is a functional unit
that accomplishes something specific, Complicated programs need routines
to group and separate tasks. This makes a program easier to write, read,
understand, and alter.
For example, look at the program for "Normal and Inverse–Normal
Distributions" in chapter 16. Routine S "initializes" the program by collecting
the input for the mean and standard deviation. Routine D sets a limit of
integration, executes routine Q, and displays the result, Routine Q integrates
the function defined in routine F and finishes the probability calculation of
Q(x).
Programming Techniques
File name 32sii-Manual-E-0424
Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
13–1
A routine typically starts with a label (LBL) and ends with an instruction that
alters or stops program execution, such as RTN, GTO, or STOP, or perhaps
another label.
Calling Subroutines (XEQ, RTN)
A subroutine is a routine that is called from (executed by) another routine and
returns to that same routine when the subroutine is finished. The subroutine
must start with a LBL and end with a RTN. A subroutine is itself a routine, and
it can call other subroutines.
XEQ must branch to a label (LBL) for the subroutine. (It cannot branch to a
line number.)
At the very next RTN encountered, program execution returns to the line
after the originating XBQ.
For example, routine Q in the "Normal and Inverse–Normal Distributions"
program in chapter 16 is a subroutine (to calculate Q(x)) that is called from
routine D by line
% . Routine Q ends with a RTN instruction that
sends program execution back to routine D (to store and display the result) at
line D04. See the flow diagrams below.
The flow diagrams in this chapter use this notation:
! 1
Program execution branches from this line to
the line marked 1 ("from 1").
1
Program execution branches from a line
marked 1 ("to 1") to this line.

Nested Subroutines
A subroutine can call another subroutine, and that subroutine can call yet
another subroutine. This "nesting" of subroutines—the calling of a subroutine
within another subroutine—is limited to a stack of subroutines seven levels
deep (not counting the topmost program level). The operation of nested
subroutines is as shown below:
MAIN program
(top level)
End of program
Attempting to execute a subroutine nested more than seven levels deep
causes an % # $ error.

Branching (GTO)
As we have seen with subroutines, it is often desirable to transfer execution to
a part of the program other than the next line. This is called branching.
Unconditional branching uses the GTO (go to) instruction to branch to a
program label. It is not possible to branch to a specific line number during a
program.
A Programmed GTO Instruction
The GTO label instruction (press z U label) transfers the execution of a
running program to the program line containing that label, wherever it may
be. The program continues running from the new location, and never
automatically returns to its point of origination, so GTO is not used for
subroutines.
For example, consider the "Curve Fitting" program in chapter 16, The ! '
instruction branches execution from any one of three independent initializing
routines to LBL Z, the routine that is the common entry point into the heart of
the program:

line number without starting program execution.

To a line number: z U label nn (nn < 100). For example, z
U A05.
To a label: z U label —but only if program entry is not active (no
program lines displayed; PRGM off). For example, z U A.

Conditional Instructions
Another way to alter the sequence of program execution is by a conditional
test, a true/false test that compares two numbers and skips the next program
instruction if the proposition is false.
For instance, if a conditional instruction on line A05 is º/
@ (that is, is x
equal to zero?), then the program compares the contents of the X–register
with zero. If the X–register does contain zero, then the program goes on to the
next line. If the X–register does not contain zero, then the program skips the
next line, thereby branching to line A07. This rule is commonly known as "Do
if true."
Do next if true.

The above example points out a common technique used with conditional
tests: the line immediately after the test (which is only executed in the "true"
case) is a branch to another label. So the net effect of the test is to branch to a
different routine under certain circumstances.
There are three categories of conditional instructions:
Comparison tests. These compare the X– and Y–registers, or the
X–register and zero.
Flag tests. These check the status of flags, which can be either set or clear.
Loop counters. These are usually used to loop a specified number of
times.

Tests of Comparison (x?y, x?0)
There are 12 comparisons available for programming. Pressing z l or
{ n displays a. menu for one of the two categories of tests:
x?y for tests comparing x and y.
x?0 for tests comparing x and 0.
Remember that x refers to the number in the X–register, and y refers to the
number in the Y–register. These do not compare the variables X and Y.
Select the category of comparison, then press the menu key for the
conditional instruction you want.

Indirectly Addressing Variables and Labels
Indirect addressing is a technique used in advanced programming to specify
a variable or label without specifying beforehand exactly which one. This is
determined when the program runs, so it depends on the intermediate results
(or input) of the program.
Indirect addressing uses two different keys: (with ) and (with
f ).
The variable I has nothing to do with or the variable i. These keys are
active for many functions that take A through Z as variables or labels.
i is a variable whose contents can refer to another variable or label. It
holds a number just like any other variable (A through Z).
is a programming function that directs, "Use the number in i to
determine which variable or label to address."
This is an indirect address. (A through Z are direct addresses.)
Both and are used together to create an indirect address. (See the
examples below.)
By itself, i is just another variable.
By itself, is either undefined (no number in i) or uncontrolled (using
whatever number happens to be left over in i).
The Variable "i"

The Indirect Address, (i)
Many functions that use A through Z (as variables or labels) can use to
refer to A through Z (variables or labels) or statistics registers indirectly. The
function uses the value in variable i to determine which variable, label, or
register to address. The following table shows how.
If i contains:

Only the absolute value of the integer portion of the number in i is used for
addressing.
The INPUT(i) and VIEW(i) operations label the display with the name of the
indirectly–addressed variable or register.
The SUMS menu enables you to recall values from the statistics registers.
However, you must use indirect addressing to do other operations, such as
STO, VIEW, and INPUT.
The functions listed below can use (i) as an address. For GTO, XEQ, and FN=,
(i) refers to a label; for all other functions (i) refers to a variable or register.

Program Control with (i)
Since the contents of i can change each time a program runs–or even in
different parts of the same program — a program instruction such as
! 6L5 can branch to a different label at different times. This maintains
flexibility by leaving open (until the program runs) exactly which variable or
program label will be needed. (See the first example below.)
Indirect addressing is very useful for counting and controlling loops. The
variable i serves as an index, holding the address of the variable that
contains the loop–control number for the functions DSE and ISG. (See the
second example below.)
Example: Choosing Subroutines With (i).
The "Curve Fitting" program in chapter 16 uses indirect addressing to
determine which model to use to compute estimated values for x and y.
(Different subroutines compute x and y for the different models.) Notice that i
is stored and then indirectly addressed in widely separated parts of the
program.
The first four routines (S, L, E, P) of the program specify the curve–fitting model
that will be used and assign a number (1, 2, 3, 4) to each of these models.
This number is then stored during routine Z, the common entry point for all
models:
'
! L
Routine Y uses i to call the appropriate subroutine (by model) to calculate the
x– and y–estimates. Line Y03 calls the subroutine to compute y:

Solving and Integrating
Programs
Solving a Program
In chapter 7 you saw how you can enter an equation — it's added to the
equation list — and then solve it for any variable. You can also, enter a
program that calculates a function, and then solve it for any variable. This is
especially useful if the equation you're solving changes for certain conditions
or if it requires repeated calculations.
To solve a programmed function:
1. Enter a program that defines the function. (See "To write a program for
SOLVE" below.)
2. Select the program to solve: press { V label. (You can skip this step
if you're re–solving the same program.)
3. Solve for the unknown variable: press { variable.
Notice that FN= is required if you're solving a programmed function, but not
if you're solving an equation from the equation list.
To halt a calculation, press or f. The current best estimate of the root
is in the unknown variable; use { to view it without disturbing the
stack. To resume the calculation, press f.
To write a program for SOLVE:
The program can use equations and RPN operations — in whatever
combination is most convenient.
1. Begin the program with a label. This label identifies the function shat you
want SOLVE to evaluate (/label).

Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
14–1
2. Include an INPUT instruction for each variable, including the unknown.
INPUT instructions enable you to solve for any variable in a multi–variable
function. INPUT for the unknown is ignored by the calculator, so you need
to write only one program that contains a separate INPUT instruction for
every variable (including the unknown).
If you include no INPUT instructions, the program uses the values stored in
the variables or entered at equation prompts.
3. Enter the instructions to evaluate the function.
A function programmed as a multi–line RPN sequence must be in the
form of an expression that goes to zero at the solution. If your equation
is f(x) = g(x), your program should calculate f(x) – g(x). "=0" is
implied.
A function programmed as an equation can be any type of
equation—equality, assignment, or expression. The equation is
evaluated by the program, and its value goes to zero at the solution. If
you want the equation to prompt for variable values instead of
including INPUT instructions, make sure flag 11 is set.
4. End the program with a RTN. Program execution should end with the value
of the function in the X–register.
SOLVE works only with real numbers. However, if you have a complex–valued
function that can be written to isolate its real and imaginary parts, SOLVE can
solve for the parts separately.
Example: Program Using RPN.
Write a program using RPN operations that solves for any unknown in the
equation for the "Ideal Gas Law." The equation is:
P x V= N x R x T
where
P = Pressure (atmospheres or N/m2).
V = Volume (liters).
N = Number of moles of gas.

variable and into the X–register) before executing the SOLVE variable
instruction. The two instructions for solving an equation for an unknown
variable appear in programs as:

(variable = value) since this might not be the significant output for your

variable instruction after the SOLVE instruction.
If no solution is found for the unknown variable, then the next program line is
skipped (in accordance with the "Do if True" rule, explained in chapter 13).
The program should then handle the case of not finding a root, such as by
choosing new initial estimates or changing an input value.

Integrating a Program
In chapter 8 you saw how you can enter an equation (or expression) — it's
added to the list of equations — and then integrate it with respect to any
variable. You can also enter a program that calculates a function, and then
integrate it with respect to any variable. This is especially useful if the function
you're integrating changes for certain conditions or if it requires repeated
calculations.
To integrate a programmed function:
1. Enter a program that defines the integrand's function. (See "To write a
program for ∫ FN" below.)
2. Select the program that defines the function to integrate: press { V
label. (You can skip this step if you're reintegrating the same program.)
3. Enter the limits of integration: key in the lower limit and press then
key in the upper limit.
4. Select the variable of integration and start the calculation: press {
variable.
Notice that FN= is required if you're integrating a programmed function, but
riot if you're integrating an equation from the equation list.
You can halt a running integration calculation by pressing or f.
However, no information about the integration is available until the
calculation finishes normally. To resume the calculation, press f again.
Pressing W while an integration calculation is running cancels the ∫ FN
operation. In this case, you should start ∫ FN again from the beginning.

The program can use equations and RPN operations — in whatever
combination is most convenient.
1. Begin the program with a label. This label identifies the function that you
want to integrate (/label).

integration. INPUT instructions enable you to integrate with respect to any
variable in a multi–variable function. INPUT for the variable of integration

is ignored by the calculator, so you need to write only one program that
contains a separate INPUT instruction for every variable (including the
variable of integration).
If you include no INPUT instructions, the program uses the values stored in
the variables or entered at equation prompts.
3. Enter the instructions to evaluate the function.
A function programmed as a multi–line RPN sequence must calculate
the function values you want to integrate.
A function programmed as an equation is usually included as an
expression specifying the integrand — though it can be any type of
equation. If you want the equation to prompt for variable values
instead of including INPUT instructions, make sure flag 11 is set.
4. End the program with a RTN. Program execution should end with the value
of the function in the X–register.

Integration can be executed from a program. Remember to include or prompt
for the limits of integration before executing the integration, and remember
that accuracy and execution time are controlled by the display format at the
time the program runs. The two integration instructions appear in the program
as:

The programmed ∫ FN instruction does not produce a labeled display ( ∫ =

you might want to do further calculations with this number before displaying
it). If you do want this result displayed, add a PSE ( {e ) or STOP
(f) instruction to display the result in the X–register after the ∫ FN
instruction.

Restrictions o Solving and Integrating
The SOLVE variable and ∫ FN d variable instructions cannot call a routine that
contains another SOLVE or ∫ FN instruction. That is, neither of these
instructions can be used recursively. For example, attempting to calculate a
multiple integral will result in an ∫ 1∫ 2 error. Also, SOLVE and ∫ FN cannot
call a routine that contains an /label instruction; if attempted, a #
!# or ∫ !# error will be returned. SOLVE cannot call a routine
that contains an ∫FN instruction (produces a #1 ∫ 2 error), just as ∫ FN
cannot call a routine that contains a SOLVE instruction (produces an
∫1 #2 error).
The SOLVE variable and ∫FN d variable instructions in a program use one of
the seven pending subroutine returns in the calculator. (Refer to "Nested
Subroutines" in chapter 13.)

The terms "polar" and "rectangular," which refer to two–dimensional systems,
are used instead of the proper three–dimensional terms of "spherical" and
"Cartesian." This stretch of terminology allows the labels to be associated
with their function without confusing conflicts. For instance, if LBL C had been
associated with Cartesian coordinate input, it would not have been available
for cross product.
Program Instructions:
1. Key in the program routines; press when done.
2. If your vector is in rectangular form, press W R and go to step 4. If your
vector is in polar form, press W P and continue with step 3.

Polynomial Root Finder
This program finds the roots of a polynomial of order 2 through 5 with real
coefficients. It calculates both real and complex roots.
For this program, a general polynomial has the form
xn + an–1xn–1 + ... + a1x + a0 = 0
where n = 2, 3, 4, or 5. The coefficient of the highest–order term (an) is
assumed to be 1. If the leading coefficient is not 1, you should make it I by
dividing all the coefficients in the equation by the leading coefficient. (See
example 2.)
The routines for third– and fifth–order polynomials use SOLVE to find one real
root of the equation, since every odd–order polynomial must have at least one
real root. After one root is found, synthetic division is performed to reduce the
original polynomial to a second– or fourth–order polynomial.
To solve a fourth–order polynomial, it is first necessary to solve the resolvant
cubic polynomial:
y3 + b2y2 + b1 y + b0 = 0
where b2 = – a2
b1 = a3a1– 4a0
15–20 Mathematics Programs
File name 32sii-Manual-E-0424
Printed Date : 2003/4/24
Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
b0 = a0(4a2 – a32) – a12.
Let y0 be the largest real root of the above cubic. Then the fourth–order
polynomial is reduced to two quadratic polynomials:
x2 + (J + L)× + (K + M) = 0
x2 + (J – L)x + (K – M) = 0
where J = a3/2
K = y0 /2
L=
J 2 − a2 + y0
M=
K 2 − a2
× (the sign of JK – a1/2)
Roots of the fourth degree polynomial are found by solving these two
quadratic polynomials.
A quadratic equation x2 + a1x + a0 = 0 is solved by the formula
x1,2 = −
a1
a
± ( 1 )2 − a0
2
2
If the discriminant d = (a1/2)2 – ao ≥ 0, the roots are real; if d < 0, the roots
are complex, being u ± iv = −(a1 2) ± i − d .

Flags Used:
Flag 0 is used to remember if the root is real or complex (that is, to remember
the sign of d). If d is negative, then flag 0 is set. Flag 0 is tested later in the
program to assure that both the real and imaginary parts are displayed if
necessary.
Memory Required:
382.0 bytes: 268.5 for programs, 33.5 for SOLVE, 80 for variables.
Remarks:
The program accommodates polynomials of order 2, 3, 4, and 5. It does not
check if the order you enter is valid.
The program requires that the constant term a0 is nonzero for these
polynomials. (If a0 is 0, then 0 is a real root. Reduce the polynomial by one
order by factoring out x.)
The order and the coefficients are not preserved by the program.
Because of round–off error in numerical computations, the program may
produce values that are not true roots of the polynomial. The only way to
confirm the roots is to evaluate the polynomial manually to see if it is zero at
the roots.
For a third– or higher–order polynomial, if SOLVE cannot find a real root, the
error # &
is displayed.
You can save time and memory by omitting routines you don't need. If you're
not solving fifth–order polynomials, you can omit routine E. If you're not
solving fourth– or fifth–order polynomials, yoga can omit routines D, E, and F.
If you're not solving third–, fourth–, or fifth–order polynomials, you can omit
routines C, D, E, and F.
Program Instructions:
1. Press z b { } to clear all programs and variables. This
program requires all but 2 bytes of memory while running.

The following formulas are used to convert a point P from the Cartesian
coordinate pair (x, y) in the old system to the pair (u, v) in the new, translated,
rotated system.
u = (x – m) cosθ + (y – n) sinθ
v = (y – n) cos θ – (y – n) sinθ
The inverse transformation is accomplished with the formulas below.
x = u cosθ – v sinθ + m
y = u sinθ + v cosθ + n
The HP 32SII complex and polar–to–rectangular functions make these
computations straightforward.

Curve Fitting
This program can be used to fit one of four models of equations to your data.
These models are the straight line, the logarithmic curve, the exponential
curve and the power curve. The program accepts two or more (x, y) data
pairs and then calculates the correlation coefficient, r, and the two regression
coefficients, m and b. The program includes a routine to calculate the
estimates x
ˆ and yˆ . (For definitions of these values, see "Linear
Regression" in chapter 11.)
Samples of the curves and the relevant equations are shown below. The
internal regression functions of the HP 32SII are used to compute the
regression coefficients.

To fit logarithmic curves, values of x must be positive. To fit exponential curves,
values of y must be positive. To fit power curves, both x and y must be positive.
A 12 error will occur if a negative number is entered for these
cases.
Data values of large magnitude but relatively small differences can incur
problems of precision, as can data values of greatly different magnitudes.

Normal and Inverse–Normal Distributions
Normal distribution is frequently used to model the behavior of random
variation about a mean. This model assumes that the sample distribution is
symmetric about the mean, M, with a standard deviation, S, and
approximates the shape of the bell–shaped curve shown below. Given a
value x, this program calculates the probability that a random selection from
the sample data will have a higher value. This is known as the upper tail area,
Q(x). This program also provides the inverse: given a value Q(x), the
program calculates the corresponding value x.

The accuracy of this program is dependent on the display setting. For inputs

significant figures is adequate for most application.
At full precision, the input limit becomes ±5 standard deviations.
Computation time is significantly less with a lower number of displayed digits.
In routine N, the constant 0.5 may be replaced by 2 and 3. This will save

The TVM equation requires that I must be non–zero to avoid a # &
error. If you're solving for I and aren't sure of its current value, press 1 H
I before you begin the SOLVE calculation ( { I ).
The order in which you're prompted for values depends upon the variable
you're solving for.

1. If your first TVM calculation is to solve for interest rate, I, press 1 H I.
2. Press { G. If necessary, press z or z to scroll
through the equation list until you come to the TVM equation.
3. Do one of the following five operations:
a. Press { N to calculate the number of compounding
periods.
b. Press { I to calculate periodic interest.
For monthly payments, the result returned for I is the monthly interest
rate, i; press 12 y to see the annual interest rate.
c. Press { B to calculate initial balance of a loan or savings
account.
d. Press { P to calculate periodic payment.
e. Press { F to calculate future value or balance of a loan.
4. Key in the values of the four known variables as they are prompted for;
press f after each value.
5. When you press the last f, the value of the unknown variable is
calculated and displayed.
6. To calculate a new variable, or recalculate the carne variable using

Prime Number Generator
This program accepts any positive integer greater than 3. If the number is a
prime number (not evenly divisible by integers other than itself and 1), then
the program returns the input value. If the input is not a prime number, then
the program returns the first prime number larger than the input.
The program identifies non–prime numbers by exhaustively trying all possible
factors. If a number is riot prime, the program adds 2 (assuring that the value
is still odd) and tests to see if it, has found a prime. This process continues until
a prime number is found.

3. Starting at the upper left corner ( < ) and moving from left to right, press
each key in the top row. Then, moving left to right, press each key in the
second row, the third row, and so on, until you've pressed every key.
If you press the keys in the proper order and they are functioning
properly, the calculator displays followed by two–digit numbers.
(The calculator is counting the keys using hexadecimal base.)
If you press a key out of order, or if a key isn't functioning properly, the
next keystroke displays a fail message (see step 4).
4. The self–test produces one of these two results:
The calculator displays . if it passed the self–test. Go to step
5.
The calculator displays . followed by a one–digit
number, if it failed the self–test. If you received the message because
you pressed a key out of order, reset the calculator (hold down ,
press - ) and do the self test again. If you pressed the keys in order,
but got this message, repeat the self–test to verify the results. If the
calculator fails again, it requires service (see page A–7). Include a
copy of the fail message with the calculator when you ship it for
service.

Managing Calculator Memory
The HP 32SII has 384 bytes of user memory available to you for any
combination of stored data (variables, equations, or program lines). SOLVE, ∫
FN, and statistical calculations also require user memory. (The ∫ FN operation
is particularly "expensive" to run.)
All of your stored data is preserved until you explicitly clear it. The message
& " means that there is currently not enough memory available
for the operation you just attempted. You need to clear some (or all) of user
memory. For instance, you can:
Clear the contents of any or all variables (see "Clearing Variables" its
chapter 3).
Clear any or all equations (see "Editing and Clearing Equations" in
chapter 6).
Clear any or all programs (see "Clearing One or More Programs" in
chapter 12).
Clear the statistics registers (press z b {Σ} ).
Clear all of user memory (press z b {} ).

Resetting the Calculator
If the calculator doesn't respond to keystrokes or if it is otherwise behaving
unusually, attempt to reset it. Resetting the calculator halts the current
calculation and cancels program entry, digit entry, a running program, a
SOLVE calculation, an ∫ FN calculation, a VIEW display, or an INPUT display.
Stored data usually remain intact.
To reset the calculator, hold down the key and press -. If you are
unable to reset the calculator, try installing fresh batteries. If the calculator
cannot be reset, or if it still fails to operate properly, you should attempt to
clear memory using the special procedure described in the next section.
The calculator can reset itself if it is dropped or if power is interrupted.
Clearing Memory
The usual way to clear user memory is to press z b {}. However,
there is 1so more powerful clearing procedure that resets additional
information and is useful if e keyboard is not functioning properly.
If the calculator fails to respond to keystrokes, and you are unable to restore
operation by resetting it or changing the batteries, try the following MEMORY
CLEAR procedure. These keystrokes clear all of memory, reset the calculator,
and restore all format and modes to their original, default settings (shown

The Status of Stack Lift
The four stack registers are always present, and the stack always has a

All functions except those in the following two lists will enable stack lift.
Disabling Operations
The four operations ENTER, Σ+, Σ–, and CLx disable stack lift. A number
keyed in after one of these disabling operations writes over the number
currently in the X–register. The Y–, Z– and T–registers remain unchanged.
In addition, when and @ act like CLx, they also disable stack lift.
The INPUT function disables stack lift as it halts a program for prompting (so
any number you then enter writes over the X–register), but it enables stack lift
when the program resumes.

More about Solving
This appendix provides information about the SOLVE operation beyond that
given in chapter 7.
How SOLVE Finds a Root
SOLVE is an iterative operation; that is, it repetitively executes the specified
equation. The value returned by the equation is a function f(x) of the unknown
variable x. (f(x) is mathematical shorthand for a function defined in terms of
the unknown variable x.) SOLVE starts with an estimate for the unknown
variable, x, and refines that estimate with each successive execution of the
function, f(x).
If any two successive estimates of the function f(x) have opposite signs, then
SOLVE presumes that the function f(x) crosses the x–axis in at least one place
between the two estimates. This interval is systematically narrowed until a root
is found.
For SOLVE to find a root, the root has to exist within the range of numbers of
the calculator, and the function must be mathematically defined where the
iterative search occurs. SOLVE always finds a root, provided one exists
(within the overflow bounds), if one or more of these conditions are met:
Two estimates yield f(x) values with opposite signs, and the function's
graph crosses the x–axis in at least one place between those estimates
(figure a, below).
f(x) always increases or always decreases as x increases (figure b,
below).
The graph of f(x) is either concave everywhere or convex everywhere
(figure c, below).

Function Whose Roots Can Be Found
In most situations, the calculated root is an accurate estimate of the theoretical,
infinitely precise root of the equation. An "ideal" solution is one for which f(x)
= 0. However, a very small non–zero value for f(x) is often acceptable
because it might result from approximating numbers with limited (12–digit)
precision.

Interpreting Results
The SOLVE operation will produce a solution under either of the. following
conditions:
If it finds an estimate for which f(x) equals zero. (See figure a, below.)
If it finds an estimate where f(x) is not equal to zero, but the calculated
root is a 12–digit number adjacent to the place where the function's
graph crosses the x–axis (see figure b, below). This occurs when the two
final estimates are neighbors (that is, they differ by 1 in the 12th digit),
and the function's value is positive for one estimate and negative for the
other. Or they are (0, 10–499) or (0, –10–499). In most cases, f(x) will be
relatively close to zero.

To obtain additional information about the result, press 9 see the previous
estimate of the root (x), which was left in the Y–register. Press 9 again to
see the value of f(x), which was left in the Z–register. If f(x) equals zero or is
relatively small, it is very likely that a solution has been found. However, if f(x)
is relatively large, you must use caution in interpreting the results.

There is a pole between the final estimates. The initial guesses yielded
opposite signs for f(x), and the interval between successive estimates was
narrowed until two neighbors were found. Unfortunately, these neighbors
made f(x) approach a pole instead of the x–axis. The function does have roots
at –2 and 3, which can be found by entering better guesses.

asymptote—an area where f(x) is essentially constant for a wide range of
x (see figure b, below). The ending value of f(x) is the value of the
potential asymptote.
The search is concentrated in a local "flat" region of the function (see

generate estimates over a wide range. You can sometimes avoid math errors
by using good guesses. If a math error occurs, press K unknown variable

If you use larger guesses, then SOLVE can find the roots, which are outside
the flat region (at x = 2 and x = –2).
Round–Off Error
The limited (12–digit) precision of the calculator can cause errors due to
rounding off, which adversely affect the iterative solutions of SOLVE and
integration. For example,
[( x + 1) + 1015]2 - 1030 = 0
has no roots because f(x) is always greater than zero. However, given initial
guesses of 1 and 2, SOLVE returns the answer 1.0000 due to round–off
error.
Round–off error can also cause SOLVE to fail to find a root. The equation
x2 - 7 = 0
has a root at 7 . However, no 12–digit number exactly equals 7 , so
the calculator can never make the function equal to zero. Furthermore, the

However, the final estimate of x (press @ to see it) is the best possible
12–digit approximation of the root when the routine quits.
Underflow
Underflow occurs when the magnitude of a number is smaller than the
calculator can represent, so it substitutes zero. This can affect SOLVE results.
For example, consider the equation

x2
whose root is infinite in value. Because of underflow, SOLVE returns a very
large value as a root. (The calculator cannot represent infinity, anyway.)

More about Integration
This appendix provides information about integration beyond that given in
chapter 8.
How the Integral Is Evaluated
The algorithm used by the integration operation, ∫ Gº, calculates the
integral of a function f(x) by computing a weighted average of the function's
values at many values of x (known as sample points) within the interval of
integration. The accuracy of the result of any such sampling process depends
on the number of sample points considered: generally, the more sample
points, the greater the accuracy, if f(x) could be evaluated at an infinite
number of sample points, the algorithm could — neglecting the limitation
imposed by the inaccuracy in the calculated function f(x) — always provide
an exact answer.
Evaluating the function at an infinite number of sample points would take
forever. However, this is not necessary since the maximum accuracy of the
calculated integral is limited by the accuracy of the calculated function values.
Using only a finite number of sample points, the algorithm can calculate an
integral that is as accurate as is justified considering the inherent uncertainty
in f(x).
The integration algorithm at first considers only a few sample points, yielding
relatively inaccurate approximations. If these approximations are not yet as
accurate as the accuracy of f(x) would permit, the algorithm is iterated
(repeated) with a larger number of sample points. These iterations continue,
using about twice as many sample points each time, until the resulting
approximation is as accurate as is justified considering the inherent
uncertainty in f(x).

As explained in chapter 8, the uncertainty of the final approximation is a
number derived from the display format, which specifies the uncertainty for
the function. At the end of each iteration, the algorithm compares the
approximation calculated during that iteration with the approximations
calculated during two previous iterations. If the difference between any of
these three approximations and the other two is less than the uncertainty
tolerable in the final approximation, the calculations ends, leaving the current
approximation in the X–register and its uncertainty in the Y–register.
It is extremely unlikely that the errors in each of three successive
approximations — that is, the differences between the actual integral and the
approximations — would all be larger than the disparity among the
approximations themselves. Consequently, the error in the final
approximation will be less than its uncertainty (provided that f(x) does not
vary rapidly). Although we can't know the error in the final approximation,
the error is extremely unlikely to exceed the displayed uncertainty of the
approximation. In other words, the uncertainty estimate in the Y–register is an
almost certain "upper bound" on the difference between the approximation
and the actual integral.
Conditions That Could Cause Incorrect Results
Although the integration algorithm in the HP 32SII is one of the best available,
in certain situations it — like all other algorithms for numerical
integration—might give you an incorrect answer. The possibility of this
occurring is extremely remote. The algorithm has been designed to give
accurate results with almost any smooth function. Only for functions that
exhibit extremely erratic behavior is there any substantial risk of obtaining an
inaccurate answer. Such functions rarely occur in problems related to actual
physical situations; when they do, they usually can be recognized and dealt
with ire a straightforward manner.
Unfortunately, since all that the algorithm knows about f(x) are its values at the
sample points, it cannot distinguish between f(x) and any other function that
agrees with f(x) at all the sample points. This situation is depicted below,

graphs include the many sample points in common.

With this number of sample pints, the algorithm will calculate the same
approximation for the integral of any of the functions shown. The actual
integrals of the functions shown with solid blue and black lines are about the
same, so the approximation will be fairly accurate if f(x) is one of these
functions. However, the actual integral of the function shown with a dashed
line is quite different from those of the others, so the current approximation
will be rather inaccurate if f(x) is this function.
The algorithm cores to know the general behavior of the function by sampling
the function at more and more points. If a fluctuation of the function in one
region is not unlike the behavior over the rest of the interval of integration, at
some iteration the algorithm will likely detect the fluctuation. When this
happens, the number of sample points is increased until successive iterations
yield approximations that take into account the presence of the most rapid,
but characteristic, fluctuations.
For example, consider the approximation of

The answer returned by the calculator is clearly incorrect, since the actual

∞ was represented by 10499, since the actual integral of this function from
zero to 10499 is very close to 1. The reasons or the incorrect answer becomes
apparent from the graph of f(x) over the interval of integration.

The graph is a spike very close to the origin. Because no sample point
happened to discover the spike, the algorithm assumed that f(x) was
identically equal to zero throughout the interval of integration. Even if you
increased the number of sample points by calculating the integral in SCI 11
or ALL format, none of the additional sample points would discover the spike
when this particular function is integrated over this particular interval. (For
better approaches to problems such as this, see the next topic, "Conditions
That Prolong Calculation Time.")
Fortunately, functions exhibiting such aberrations (a fluctuation that is
uncharacteristic of the behavior of the function elsewhere) are unusual
enough that you are unlikely to have to integrate one unknowingly. A function
that could lead to incorrect results can be identified in simple terms by how
rapidly it and its low–order derivatives vary across the interval of integration.
Basically, the more rapid the variation in the function or its derivatives, and
the lower the order of such rapidly varying derivatives, the less quickly will the
calculation finish, and the less reliable will be the resulting approximation.
Note that the rapidity of variation in the function (or its low–order derivatives)
must be determined with respect to the width of the interval of integration.

fluctuations can be better characterized by its samples when these variations
are spread out over most of the interval of integration than if they are
confined to only a small fraction of the interval. (These two situations are
shown in the following two illustrations.) Considering the variations or
fluctuation as a type of oscillation in the function, the criterion of interest is the
ratio of the period of the oscillations to the width of the interval of integration:
the larger this ratio, the more quickly the calculation will finish, and the more
reliable will be, the resulting approximation.

and you suspect that it may cause problems, you can quickly plot a few points
by evaluating the function using the equation or program you wrote for that
purpose.
If, for any reason, after obtaining an approximation to an integral, you
suspect its validity, there's a simple procedure to verify it: subdivide the
interval of integration into two or more adjacent subintervals, integrate the
function over each subinterval, then add the resulting approximations. This
causes the function to be sampled at a brand new set of sample points,
thereby more likely revealing any previously hidden spikes. If the initial
approximation was valid, it will equal the sum of the approximations over the
subintervals.
Conditions That Prolong Calculation Time
In the preceding example, the algorithm gave an incorrect answer because it
never detected the spike in the function. This happened because the variation
in the function was too quick relative to the width of the interval of integration.
If the width of the interval were smaller, you would get the correct answer; but
it would take a very long time if the interval were still too wide.
Consider an integral where the interval of integration is wide enough to
require excessive calculation time, but not so wide that it would be calculated
incorrectly. Note that because f(x) = xe–x approaches zero very quickly as x
approaches ∞, the contribution to the integral of the function at large values
of x is negligible. Therefore, you can evaluate the integral by replacing ∞,
the upper limit of integration, by a number not so large as 10499 — say 103.

Uncertainty of approximation.
This is the correct answer, but it took a very long time. To understand why,
compare the graph of the function between x = 0 and x = 103, which looks
about the same as that shown in the previous example, with the graph of the
function between x = 0 and x = 10:

You can see that this function is "interesting" only at small values of x. At
greater values of x, the function is not interesting, since it decreases smoothly
and gradually in a predictable manner.
The algorithm samples the function with higher densities of sample points until
the disparity between successive approximations becomes sufficiently small.
For a narrow interval in an area where the function is interesting, it takes less
time to reach this critical density.
To achieve the same density of sample points, the total number of sample
points required over the larger interval is much greater than the number
required over the smaller interval. Consequently, several more iterations are
required over the larger interval to achieve an approximation with the same
accuracy, and therefore calculating the integral requires considerably more
time.
Because the calculation time depends on how soon a. certain density of
sample points is achieved in the region where the function is interesting, the

calculation of the integral of any function will be prolonged if the interval of
integration includes mostly regions where the function is not interesting.
Fortunately, if you must calculate such an integral, you can modify the
problem so that the calculation time is considerably reduced. Two such
techniques are subdividing the interval of integration and transformation of
variables. These methods enable you to change the function or the limits of
integration so that the integrand is better behaved over the intervals) of

Attempted to refer to a nonexistent program label (or
% !!
line number) with U,U , W, or { }.
Note that the error % !! can mean
you explicitly (from the keyboard) called a
program label that does not exist; or
the program that you called referred to another
label, which does not exist.
The catalog of programs ( z X { } )
indicates no program labels stored.
! SOLVE cannot find the root of the equation using the
current initial guesses (see page C–8). A SOLVE
operation executed in a program does not produce
this error; the same condition causes it instead to skip
the next program line (the line following the
instruction # variable).
# $ Warning (displayed momentarily); the magnitude of
a result is too large for the calculator to handle. The
calculator returns ±9.99999999999E499 in the
current display format. (See "Range of Numbers and
Overflow" on page 1–12.) This condition sets flag 6.
If flag 5 is set, overflow has the added effect of
halting a running program and leaving the message
in the display until you press a key.
! Indicates the "top" of program memory. The memory
scheme is circular, so ! is also the "line"
after the last line in program memory.
The calculator is running a program (other than a
"
SOLVE or ∫ FN routine).
! Attempted to execute # variable or ∫ d
variable without a selected program label. This can
happen only the first time that you use SOLVE or ∫ FN
after the message & , or it can happen
if the current label no longer exists.

Operation Index
This section is a quick reference for all functions and operations and their
formulas, where appropriate. The listing is in alphabetical order by the
function's name. This name is the one used in program lines. For example, the
function named FIX n is executed as z {%} n.
Nonprogrammable functions have their names in key boxes. For example,
a.
Non–letter and Greek characters are alphabetized before all the letters;
function names preceded by arrows (for example, DEG) are alphabetized
as if the arrow were not there.
The last column, marked
