HP-42S (Free42, DM-42) mini-challenge – Wallis Product
\(\pi \approx 2\left ( \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{16}{15}\times \frac{36}{35}\times\frac{64}{63} \times \cdots \times \frac{ 4n ^{2}}{ 4n ^{2}-1}\right )\)
Write a program to evaluate the Wallis product on your HP-42S or DM-42. Restrictions: 1. Stack-only (X, Y, Z, T & L); 2. Keep at least one copy of the previous content of the X register on the stack (no need to leave it on Y); 3. No limitation for the value of n. Least number of steps then least number of bytes, including a 2-character label, wins. Examples: 1 XEQ “WP” -> 2.66666666667 10 -> 3.06770380664 123 -> 3.13523960409 1E6 -> 3.141591868192120714596476681464745 (Free42 only) Occasional diferences in the last two significant digits will be irrelevant. Have fun! |
