Periodic table (Elements) - solved

[salvomic]

hi,
where could I find a working version (in FW 10077) of Elements (Periodic Table) for the Prime?
I had an old version but is rather old (2014) and with some issues (also INT() instead of IP()...)

Thank you

Salvo

Found in the Software Libraries, ok

[StephenG1CMZ]

I also have a periodic table program (Z Periodic Table). - as yet untested in the new FW.

yes, Stephen, I saw.
I'm going to test it also.

UPDATED:
please, check it. After installation I get "use keypad", then I put a symbol (like "He" in input and I get only a ! exclamation mark)...
Am I missing something?

I have added a user guide to the library - hope that makes it clear.
There is much room for improvement.

I tap on Symb or Num, or Enter and I get always "use keypad"...

1 You need to tap the keypad, not the drawmenu menu or screen.
Num and Symb are in the 2nd column of keys.
2 After the " keypad" message the program does not always recover...
Run the program again (although perhaps that can improve with the latest FW).

ok for Symb and Num, but not for Enter (please, check it): I get the input form, type i.e. Au and get the ! bang after SY is "Au" (or "O", or "H")...

I am only seeing "!" here when I type in something non-alphabetic

Eg
Alpha A Shift U // U is not Alphabetic
Instead of
alpha A Alpha Shift U
Or
alpha alpha A Shift U

I don't know...
In 10077 I input Alpha O and I can see "!", also with "o", as if the input don't be seen as string...

Stephen,
the problem could be in this chunk of code:

Code:


IF KK==30 THEN //ENTER
ML:=INPUT(SY,"Enter element name or Symb");
IF ML THEN
FOR EL FROM 1 TO NELE DO
IF SY==Z_ELEMENTNAMES(EL,2) OR SY==Z_ELEMENTNAMES(EL,3) THEN
RECT_P(0,0,320,220);
DRW_ELE_BOX(POS_ELE_BOX(EL),EL,Z_ELEMENTNAMES(EL,2));
DRWNAME(Z_ELEMENTNAMES(EL,3));
WAIT;
END;
END;

If I put
RETURN {ML, SY};
after the ML:=Input... line I get {0,""}, so the input isn't seen at all, here...

That code seems fine here using the Android emulator.
I only see 0 if I select Cancel for that Input, otherwise it is 1 (true) and the string.

I only have the Android emulator here... Do you have 8151 available for testing - to confirm there is a difference between the versions?

I haven't still tried in iOS emulator, but see also this post where they talk about a possible problem with INPUT and strings in 10077...

Just a quick note to make clear in this thread that my program (Z Periodic Table) now works in both 8151 and 10077. Thanks to Salvomic and Tyann for fhelping fix that. Also, the user interface has been improved and elements are now available in English, francais and Polskie.
Did you find the other Periodic Table program you were looking for, Salvo?

yes, Stephen, it was HP_Elements (an app), but also your program is good, thank you.
