ISG/ISZ switchover - Matt Agajanian - 04-17-2021 08:06 PM
Hi all.
Since ISZ has been replaced with ISG, what is a programming code that is the equivalent of ISZ?
Thanks

There isn't an exact equivalence.

In that case, is there a programming trick?
I’m thinking something like this:
Say you want to loop five times:
Place 0.00400 in the loop register.
That way 0 to 4 is five times. Thus when ISG increments the loop register to 5, 5 is great than 4 (.004), so the loop would exit without executing the procedure/equation a sixth time.
Logical?

If you just want to execute a loop n times, wouldn't you be using DSZ, not ISZ? In that case, you can use DSE instead of DSZ:
Code:
5
STO 00
LBL 00
[...]
DSE 00

True. ISG’s gotta be good for something though. Didn’t want to stuff ISG in the back of a drawer ignored and never to be used.

I don't see which calc we're talking about; but if it's the 41, Angel's WarpCore module has ISLEX, Increment and Skip if Equal on the value in X.

You use ISG when you need to count up, not down. But DSE saves a few bytes if you just want to execute a loop n times, and don't care what the value of the loop counter is. (Or if you specifically need it to be n, n-1, ..., 2, 1.)
So if the loop counter should go from 5 to 1, use 5 STO 00 ... DSE 00; and if the loop counter should go from 1 to 5, use 1.005 STO 00 ... ISG 00.
