HP 42S/Free 42S/DM42: Dynamic Growing Lists

HP 42S/Free 42S/DM42: Dynamic Growing Lists

Introduction

This blog entry will show how to create dynamic matrices that grow as additional entries are necessary. 

DIM:  (Syntax:   rows, cols, DIM)  Sets the initial dimensions of the matrix.

INDEX:  Sets the index pointer to I = 1 and J = 1. 

GROW:  Sets the HP 42S to grow mode.  This allows the matrix to build additional rows and columns by adding new elements.

J+:  Does one of two things in Grow Mode.  It either moves the pointer to the next column or creates a new row.  For a matrix with only 1 column as its initial dimension, J+ creates a new row automatically. 

Matrix:  1 to N

The first program, nLIST generates a one column matrix from 1 to n. 

LBL 00:  Main Loop
LBL 01:  Adds another row
LBL 02:  End of program and shows the resulting matrix, MATD in edit mode
R01:  counter variable counting from n (in X stack) to 1

HP 42S/Free 42S/DM42 Program:  nLIST

00 { 50-Byte Prgm }
01▸LBL "nLIST"
02 STO 01
03 1
04 1
05 DIM "MATD"
06 INDEX "MATD"
07 GROW
08▸LBL 00
09 RCL 01
10 STOEL
11 DSE 01
12 GTO 01
13 GTO 02
14▸LBL 01
15 J+
16 GTO 00
17▸LBL 02
18 EDITN "MATD"
19 END

Example:  8 nLIST returns
[[ 8 ]
[ 7 ]
[ 6 ]
[ 5 ]
[ 4 ]
[ 3 ]
[ 2 ]
[ 1 ]]

Press the soft keys ( ↑ ) and ( ↓ ) to scroll throw the matrix.  Press [EXIT] to exit the matrix.  The matrix MATD is stored as a stack element. 

Simulating HP Prime's idivis Command

The program IDIVIS simulates the IDIVIS command on the HP Prime.  IDIVIS lists all the divisors of an integer ( n ). 

LBL 00:  Main Loop - tests for divisors
LBL 01:  Adds any divisors and creates another row
LBL 02:  Decreases the counter variable
LBL 03:  Trims the excessive row by the DELR (delete row) command, ends the program and shows the resulting matrix, MATD in edit mode
R00:  n
R01:  counter variable counting from n (in X stack) to 1.  The program stops when R01 reaches 0 (it is skipped thanks to the DSE command). 
R02 = R00/R01 


HP 42S/Free 42S/DM42S Program: IDIVIS

02 STO 00
03 STO 01
04 1
05 1
06 DIM "MATD"
07 INDEX "MATD"
08 GROW
09▸LBL 00
10 RCL 00
11 RCL÷ 01
12 STO 02
13 FP
14 X=0?
15 GTO 01
16 GTO 02
17▸LBL 01
18 RCL 02
19 STOEL

27 EDITN "MATD"
28 .END.

Examples

45 (IDIVIS) returns 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45 (press ↓ to reveal the next row in MATD)

27 (IDIVIS) returns 1, 3, 9, 27

53 (IDIVIS) returns 1, 53
