Code:


bint a    bint remainder(a/b)
bint b -> bint quotient(a/b)

From "Programming in System RPL" by Eduardo M Kalinowski and Carsten Dominik:

Code:

Addr.  Name   Description
303E9  %/     ( % %' → %/%' )
303D3  %%/    ( %% %%' → %%/%%' )
03EF7  #/     ( # #' → #r #q )

Thus #/ is what is called /MOD in Forth:

Code:

/MOD     ( n1 n2 -- rem quot )     Divides. Returns the remainder and quotient.

Who would think that this was a good idea to use #/ instead?

Thanks for the explanation of ^NDXFex. I assumed something like this but didn't know where to look it up.

I try my best to keep up with your production of programs. But I must admit that I'm not fluent in System RPL. Thus I'm a slow reader.

Cheers
