Here's a 15C-version of the 42s-solution I posted:

Code:

01 ABS
02 ENTER
03 X≠0?
04 LOG
05 INT
06 1
07 -
08 9
09 9
10 CHS
11 X>Y?
12 X<>Y
13 RDN
14 10^x
15 /
16 1
17 0
18 X>Y?
19 LOG
20 /

What do you think?

I think I am this kind of programmer, except that I didn't find a way to make that work as it should :-)

"Category 2: ENGINEER. This type insists on making the problem more
complicated than it really is. Engineers hang onto an idea
tenaciously until they find a way to make it work."

P.S.: Leaving for a meeting now. Will try it later.
