Simple HP Prime Program - cmadon - 11-01-2016 05:43 PM

On my previous HP calculators I've had a very simple program for metric conversion.

Name: MM
<< 25.4 / >>

Name: IN
<< 25.4 8 >>

I would place a number on the stack and hit the softkey with the function I wanted.

I can't figure out how to achieve this on the HP Prime. Can someone please point me in the correct direction.

Also, I am using the RPN input format.

Thank you.

create a function:

Code:

EXPORT MM(x)

BEGIN

  RETURN x/25.4;

END;

Then to convert 16 mm to inches, call it like this:

16 <Enter>
MM(1) <Enter>

Thanks a ton.

One additional question, how can I save this to a softkey and have it so I type the number then just press the associated softkey?
