HP 42S/DM42/Free 42: Advanced Boolean Functions

HP 42S/DM42/Free 42: Advanced Boolean Functions

Introduction

The programs NOTBIT, NAND, NOR, and IMPL are four advanced Boolean functions that work on Binary Numbers.  You designate a bit size, up to 35, on each of these functions.   There is no signed bit in these programs.  Results are stored in the Alpha Register while the decimal equivalent is stored in the X register. 

HP 42S/DM42/Free 42 Program:  NOTBIT

00 { 57-Byte Prgm }
01▸LBL "NOTBIT"
02 "BIT SIZE?"
03 PROMPT
04 STO 00
05 BINM
06 "BIN?"
07 PROMPT
08 STO 01
09 DECM
10 2
11 RCL 00
12 Y↑X
13 X<>Y
14 BASE-
15 1
16 BASE-
17 BINM
18 "NOT: "
19 ARCL ST X
20 AVIEW
21 EXITALL
22 .END.

Example:

NOT 11011, bit size:  8

Result: 
NOT:  11100100
