Is 32-bit math supported on the 16C? #76

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to enter 4-byte hex number.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1. Only a 2-bytes hex number can be entered

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Sci 16C, iPhone4 iOS 4.1

Please provide any additional information below.
I purchased this app expecting to be able to perform 32-bit math during gdb 
debugging sessions; however, I could only enter 16-bit hex numbers.  Is 32-bit 
math supported on the 16C?

Thanks,
Ira

Yes, the HP-16C is capable of math up to 64-bit.  It defaults to 16-bit, which 
you can see by pressing [f][STATUS].  The first number is the complement mode 
(1s, 2s, or unsigned), the second number is the word size, and the last four 
digits are user flags.  To change the word size to 32-bit, press 
[DEC]32[f][WSIZE].  At that point, pressing [f][STATUS] should give you a 
display something like "2-32-0000".

I am not the author of this program--but you really need to consult an HP-16C 
manual, not this issues log.  Your question is answered in the manual.
