HP49-50G: 2 FIX and the corresponding flag - Gil - 06-04-2024 08:59 AM
Suppose that the HP50G calculator was set previously on setting mode 2 FIX.
To detect that setting in a program, ie that the 2 FIX mode is on, I could do
<< 7. 6 / —>STR "1.17"
SAME
IF THEN "FIX 2 Mode is set"
ELSE "FIX 2 Mode is not set"
END >>
It's not very elegant.
My question:
What is the corresponding calculator FLAG combination/settings for the mode "2 FIX", "3 FIX", "4 FIX", etc. and STD ?
Or what would be the most appropriate way to detect the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Gil

Mode and number of decimals are set in flags -49 and -50 (mode) and -45 through -48 (decimals)

Thanks.
A very smart way this way of playing with binary representation of the number of digits.
