HP 38G: Old Programme - What Does It Do?

[Dave Britten]

So let's see, take the input value, or 2 if it's less than that, and multiply it by a random complex number.

Then build an 8-element list of the real and imaginary parts of that result raised to the powers 6, 4, 3, and 2.

Then take that list, flip a coin, and return one of two three element lists composed of various sums/products of those real/imaginary parts.

If any of those three elements is zero, i.e. ΠLIST(Ans) returns 0, start again from the beginning with a new random complex number.

So I know what it's doing, but I haven't a clue why. It honestly just looks like a simple list and Ans manipulation test program.

Does the program name indicate anything?
