Sum
This program computes the sum:
R0 = ∑( X = R1, R2, f(R1))
where:
R0 = the sum
R1 = starting value, which gets updated at each step. R1 is also used as the variable for f(X)
R2 = finishing value
The program uses three labels:
Label A: The main routine. Press [ f ] [ √ ] (A) to run the routine.
Label 1: A subroutine of Label A. This is the loop.
Label 0: Where the function f(X) is stored. Assume that R1 is loaded on the X register when programming the function.
The program presented here will allow the user to enter starting and ending values beyond 999. You can shorten the program by the use of ISG, however, the ending value would be restricted to 999.

Instructions:
1. Enter the main program (Labels A and 1).
2. Enter the function f(R1) (Label 0).
3. In run mode, enter the starting value and press [ENTER]
4. Enter the ending value and press [ f ] [ √ ] (A)
5. The sum is calculated and displayed.
Remember: Always finish the function with the RTN command ([ g ] [GSB] (RTN)).
Example 1
Find the sum ∑(X = 1, 50, X). In other words, what is the sum of the integers from 1 to 50?

002 43 32 RTN
Surprised? Remember we already have a copy of R1 in the main program when the instruction GSB 0 is encountered.
1 [ENTER] 50 [ f ] [ √ ] (A)
Result: 1275
Example 2
Find the sum ∑(X = 1, 150, 1/(X^2 + X)).
1/(X^2 + X) can be rewritten as:
(X^2 + X)^-1
((X + 1) X)^-1
We will use the last form for our function.
A Way to Clear Label 0
Clear Label 0 is necessary. In Run mode, press [GTO] [ 0 ]. Then press [ g ] [R/S] (P/R) to enter program mode. Press [SST] until the key codes "43 32" is encountered. Press the backspace button the number of times you pressed [SST]. You should see the key code "42, 21, 0". You are ready to enter the new function.

Result: ≈ 0.9934
