HP 48G: Stefanescu Horatiu: Intersection of the Diagonals of a Quadrilateral
The following program, written by Stefanescu Horatiu, calculates the intersection point of the two diagonals of a quadrilateral (partulator in Romanian).
The program takes place in a directory PATRULATERDIAGONALE. In order to type in the program, you will need to create a directory by using the CRDIR command.
This program also works on the HP 49G series (48gii, 49G, 49g+) and the HP 50g.
HP 48G Program PATRULATERDIAGONALE - Stefanescu Horatiu
Note: You are going to notice how all the subroutines flow together, as the first program calls the next program. You will need to enter and store all the programs for the entire routine to work correctly.
On a personal note, I like how the text is spelled out one letter at time. Hoartiu accomplishes this by using a FOR-NEXT structure which includes the commands 1 I SUB 1 DISP. (with I as the counter variable).
The text of the program is in Romanian.
The program is presented here with permission from the author, with full credit going to Stefanescu Horatiu. I thank Horatiu in allowing me to feature his work on my blog.

Instructions:
Set your calculator the folder PATRULATERDIAGONALE. Run STARTDIAGONALE and enter the coordinates. The rest of the program runs automatically. Start with the left hand corner and go clockwise.
Note: I typed Horatiu's program on an HP 49G. In REZULTATE, for some reason I couldn't get the FIX 4 to take effect, even when I switched the calculator to Approximate mode. So in order to get both PX and PY on the screen, I added a carriage return character (↲, [right shift] [ 2 ]) after the semicolon. This creates a new line allowing both coordinates to be displayed.
Example:
Example 1: (Horatiu's example)
A: (ax, ay): (2, 10)
B: (bx, by): (11, 12)
C: (cx, cy): (13, 6)
D: (dx, dy): (1, 4)
P: (px, py): (6.46875, 8.375)
FIX 4: (6.4688, 8.3750)
Example 2: (my own example)
A: (ax, ay): (0, 8)
B: (bx, by): (5, 12)
C: (cx, cy): (7, 7)
D: (dx, dy): (2, 1)
P: (px, py): (3.72649999999, 7.4625)
FIX 4: (3.7265, 7.4625)
