wp34s mini-challenge
√(5 + (ϕ^2 + 1) - (5×10^5)/((ϕ^2 + 1) + 10^5))
Evaluate the above expression on the wp34s striving to use the least number of steps. You might need to rewrite it in order to do it in less than 12 steps. Notice ϕ is a built-in constant. Have fun! |

RE: wp34s mini-challenge
My 11 step solution is 41ish.
Let a = phi^2 + 1 let b = 10^5 The expression is sqrt(5 + a - 5b/(a + b)) ... upon simplification we get: sqrt(5a/(a+b) + a) The pseudo-code is based on the last equation. Code: Phi |

Here is a 12-step solution using your simplification:

Here is the corrected version based on your comments and hint:

Anyway, it agrees to Pascal Sebah’s result to 12 significant digits. |

Sorry! Your fourth step should be replaced with FILL (fill up the stack with a constant) as you need an extra copy of Phi on the stack. |

RE: wp34s mini-challenge
It can be done in 10 steps. Any takers?
