Euler-Mascheroni Constant – (HP-15C and HP-42S) - Gerson W. Barbosa - 04-24-2024 03:10 PM

The goal is to make the Euler-Mascheroni Constant available on the HP-15C and the HP-42S, rounded to 10 and 12 digits, using the least number of steps and the least byte-count, respectively. On the latter a truncated result should be nice as well. This is not being presented as a challenge, but rather as a request for sharing better solutions I am not aware of. Thanks in advance!
