HP-41 soft menus and some comparisons

[Artur - Brasil]

Hi, guys!

I'm still working on soft menus for HP-41, now converting my programs that used the brute force to implement soft menus and solving for any variable, and just for exemplifying how much we can save on both approaches:
Brute force: 213 lines (I'll not count in bytes...)
Routines: 113 lines

100 lines less. And this is the usual counting for each program I had converted.

Maybe taking a look at the Equation Solver module manual will be of interest for your programming. You can check it out in the "Other Docs" section on the CL web site - search for SLVF and FRML keywords.

Hi, Angel!!
I gave a look tô that great material! Is it your work?!! Wow!!!
Well, my simple routines are comparable to yours solver equation, Yes, but just in surface, of course. Your work is far beyond what I have done.
As being smaller, it is also more simple to implent The equations. As I don't have the 41cl calculador, just one cx and the Diego novram, my routines saves a lot of memory.
Many thanks for appreciating my beginners work!!
