Phi Function - douganc - 07-21-2015 08:39 PM
Hello,
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong in this Program?
It's purpose is to display the value of Phi to 50 Decimal Places
When "phi()" is typed on the home screen.
Here is the program:
#cas
phi():=BEGIN
//
LOCAL x;
x:=(1.61803398874989484820458683436563811772030917980576);
RETURN(x);
//
END;
#end
Output: See attached Screenshot.
Thanks !
Colm

hi,
first detach BEGIN after the :=
Code:
#cas
phi():=
BEGIN
//
LOCAL x;
x:=(1.61803398874989484820458683436563811772030917980576);
RETURN(x);
//
END;
#endafter this you won't have that error, but
1.61803398875.
then the rest...
For "all dec" output see here.

The term "phi function" is already occupied
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_totient_function
You could amend to "phi constant"?
RE: Phi Function - douganc - 07-22-2015 08:58 AM
Yes of course, it's a constant not a function.
