TI-84 Plus CE: Bitwise Operations

TI-84 Plus CE:  Bitwise Operations

Introduction

The programs NOT, AND, OR, and XOR are presented for the TI-84 Plus CE for integer in decimal base.

NOT

For integers x > 0, the NOT function is defined as:

Σ( 2^n * ( floor(x/2^n) mod 2 + 1 ) mod 2 ) from n = 0 to floor(log(x)/log(2))

However, observing the NOT operation on scientific calculators, the not function can  be used for integers:

-(x + 1)

TI-84 Plus CE Program NOT

"2020-05-11 EWS"
Disp "NOT(X), X>0"
Prompt X
­(X+1)→N
Disp "NOT X = ",N

Examples:

NOT 192:  Returns -193

NOT -52:  Returns 51

AND

For positive integers x, y and for x ≥ y, the AND function is defined as:

Σ( 2^n * ( [ floor(x/2^n) mod 2 ] * [ floor(y/2^n) mod 2 ] ) from n = 0 to floor(log(x)/log(2))


TI-84 Plus CE Program AND

"2020-05-11 EWS"
Disp "X AND Y, X≥Y"
Prompt X,Y
0→T
For(N,0,X-fPart(X))
(X/2^N)-fPart(X/2^N)→A
2*fPart(A/2)→A
(Y/2^N)-fPart(Y/2^N)→B
2*fPart(B/2)→B
T+2^N*A*B→T
End
Disp T

Examples:

145 AND 37:  Returns 1

226 AND 125:  Returns 96

OR

For positive integers x, y and for x ≥ y, the OR function is defined as:

Σ( 2^n *
[ [ ( floor(x/2^n) mod 2) + ( floor(y/2^n) mod 2 ) + ( floor(x/2^n) mod 2 * floor(y/2^n) mod 2) ] mod 2 ] from n = 0 to floor(log(x)/log(2))

TI-84 Plus CE Program OR

"2020-05-11 EWS"
Disp "X OR Y, X≥Y"
Prompt X,Y
0→T
For(N,0,X-fPart(X))
(X/2^N)-fPart(X/2^N)→A
2*fPart(A/2)→A
(Y/2^N)-fPart(Y/2^N)→B
2*fPart(B/2)→B
T+2^N*2*fPart((A+B+A*B)/2)→T
End
Disp T

Examples:

145 OR 37:  Returns 181

226 OR 125:  Returns 255

XOR

For positive integers x, y and for x ≥ y, the XOR function is defined as:

Σ( 2^n * [ [ floor(x/2^n) + floor(y/2^n) ] mod 2 ]  from n = 0 to floor(log(x)/log(2))

TI-84 Plus CE Program XOR

"2020-05-11 EWS"

0→T
For(N,0,X-fPart(X))
(X/2^N)-fPart(X/2^N)→A
2*fPart(A/2)→A
(Y/2^N)-fPart(Y/2^N)→B
2*fPart(B/2)→B
T+2^N*2*fPart((A+B)/2)→T
End
Disp T

Examples:

145 XOR 37:  Returns 180

226 XOR 125:  Returns 159

TI-84 Plus CE: Complex Recurring Sequences

TI-84 Plus CE:  Complex Recurring Sequences

The program CMPXSEQ generates a matrix table for the complex recurring series:

C = (P + B * Q) / (1 + A)

where:
P and Q are complex constants
A = z_0
B = z_1
C = z_2

Restated, this recursion series becomes:

z_2 = (P + z_1* Q) / (1 + z_0)

In its current operating system (5.4.0), the TI-84 Plus CE's recurring sequence graphing mode cannot accept complex numbers.   Therefore a program is required.  Furthermore, matrices on the TI-84 Plus CE do not handle complex numbers.   It is required to break the complex numbers into parts.   For completeness I added both the rectangular and the polar parts of complex numbers:  real part, imaginary part, radius, and angle (dependent on angle mode).

TI-84 Plus CE Program CMPXSEQ  (text)

Disp "C=(P+B*Q)/(1+A)","COMPLEX","C=Z(N), B=Z(N-1), A=Z(N-2)"
Prompt P,Q
Input "Z0?",A
Input "Z1?",B
Input "NO OF STEPS?",N
{5,N+1}→dim([E])
For(I,0,N)
(P+Q*B)/(1+A)→C
I→[E](1,I+1)
real(C)→[E](2,I+1)
imag(C)→[E](3,I+1)

angle(C)→[E](5,I+1)
B→A
C→B
End
[E]^T→[E]
Disp "RESULT = [E]","[REAL,IMAG,ABS,ANGLE]"


Results are stored in matrix E.  ^T is the transpose function. 

Examples

Tables generated using the LibreOffice Numbers desktop app and results verified with the TI-84 Plus CE. 

Example 1:
P = 1
Q = i
z_0 = A = 2i
z_1 = B = -2



Example 2:
P = -i
Q = 1
z_0 = A = 2i
z_1 = B = -2



Example 3:
P = 1-i
Q = 1+i
z_0 = A = 2i
z_1 = B = -2



Have a great Sunday and week,

Retro Review: Radio Shack EC-4024

Retro Review: Radio Shack EC-4024

Radio Shack EC-4024 Calculator


Quick Facts:

Model:  EC-4024
Company:  Radio Shack
Equivalent of:  Casio fx-50F
Type:  Scientific 
Years:  approximately 1987 - 1995
Display:  10 digits
Batteries:  Solar 
Logic:  Algebraic (AOS)

Memory:
Registers:  7 
Constants:  9
Pre-Programmed Formulas: 23
Programming Steps: 29 between 2 slots

Features:  A Little Bit of Almost Everything

The EC-4024 has the following modes:

Mode 0:  Compute  (Main mode)
Mode 1:  Base Mode  (can be used in programs)
Mode 2:  Linear Regression (y = A + Bx) (can be used in programs)
Mode 3:  Single Deviation (one variable stats) (can be used in programs)
Mode 4:  Degrees Angle Mode
Mode 5:  Radians Angle Mode
Mode 6:  Gradians Angle Mode

Modes 7, 8, and 9:  Fixed, Scientific, and Normal (standard) display modes, respectively.

Mode . (decimal point) sets the EC-4024 in run mode while Mode EXP sets the EC-4024 in program writing mode.

The calculator handles fractions and converts results between fractions and decimal equivalents.

The base mode has the traditional four bases (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal integers) with Boolean algebra (OR, AND, NOT, XOR, NXOR, NEG).  

Equivalents

The Radio Shack EC-4024 is the equivalent of the Casio fx-50F calculator from the late 1980s.   There is a calculator similar to them both, which is a Casio fx-10F, however the fx-10F has an angled body and lacks the scientific constants.   

Constants

Outside of the statistics mode, the shift keys of the 1 through 9 keys holds the following constants that can be recalled (1978 Japan Industrial Standard, JIS Z-8202-1978) :

1:  C: Speed of Light:  299792458 m/s
2:  h:  Plank Constant: 6.626176 * 10^-34 J s
3:  G:  Universal Gravitational Constant: 6.672 * 10^-11 N m^2 kg^2
4:  e:  Elementary Charge:  1.6021892 * 10^-19 C 
5:  me:  Electron Mass: 9.109534 * 10^-34 kg
6:  u:  Atomic Mass Unit:  1.66055655 * 10^-27 kg
7:  Na:  Avogadro Constant: 6.022045*10^23 / mol
8:  k:  Boltzmann Constant: 1.380662 * 10^-23 J/K
9:  Vm:  Molar Value of Ideal Gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure: 0.02241383 m^3/mol

What is neat about this is that the units are listed next the constant name.  Example:  C(ms^-1) is the shift function of the 1 key.

Statistics Variables

The following are the variables used in the statistics mode.  The functions for the y values, A, B, and r are available to LR mode only.  The left parenthesis key becomes the comma key, and the right parenthesis key is the predict key (LR mode only).  

Shift 1:  average of x values
Shift 2:  population deviation of x values
Shift 3:  sample deviation of x values
Shift 4:  averages of y values
Shift 5:  population deviation of y values
Shift 6:  sample deviation of y values
Shift 7:  A:  intercept
Shift 8:  B:  slope
Shift 9:  r:   correlation
Kout 1:  Σx^2
Kout 2:  Σx
Kout 3:  n (number of data points)
Kout 4:  Σy^2
Kout 5:  Σy
Kout 6:  Σxy

Formulas

There are 23 formulas.  The character that is on the far left side of the screen prompts for the variable to be entered.   For a full list of formulas, please see the link below to download the manual.  The fx-10F manual also applies to both fx-50F and EC-4024 as well.   

Enter required values with the [RUN] key, not the [ = ] key. 

Programming

The program capacity is only 29 steps.  Thankfully, most of the shift/Kout/Mode key combinations are merged keystrokes.  For example, [MODE] [ 5 ] takes only one step, and so does [SHIFT] [ 1/x ] (for x!).  However, each press of a number key in terms of entering numbers takes a step, so to enter a numerical constant for example, 400, takes three steps ([ 4 ], [ 0 ], [ 0 ]).  With only 29 steps, economy and storing constants prior to running programs is key.  

There are a few programming tools:

x>0:  Tests whether the value in the display is positive.  If so, the program loops back to the first step in the program.

x≤M:  Tests whether the value in the display is less than or equal to the value in the M register.  If the test is true, the program loops back to the first step in the program.

ENT (the [RUN] key in write mode):  Prompts the user to enter a value.  You'll need to have a valid number entered to continue programming.

HLT (the [SHIFT] [RUN] key in write mode): Stops the calculator to show the display mid-program.  Press the [RUN] key to continue.

ALPHA (the [FMLA] key in write mode):  Prompts the user to enter a value with a prompt "A?" through "F?".   The values are stored here are stored in registers 1 through 6, respectively.

A → K1, B → K2, C → K3, D → K4, E → K5, F → K6

Sample Program:  Use the formula below to estimate gravity:

g = G * mass / radius^2 = G * A / B^2

G is the Gravitational Constant (use [SHIFT] [ 3 ])
Let A = mass
Let B = radius


Program:  P1/P2 (you designate which program area to use)

SHIFT  3    (G)
×
FMLA  a b/c  (A?)
÷
FMLA  ° ' ''  (B?)
(enter a non-zero number here, like 1)
x^2
=

Test:  Press P1/P2  

Enter 5.96E24 at the A? prompt
Enter 6.38E6 at the B? prompt

Result:  9.76924362

All programming is done blind.  The only edit function is that during programming, pressing [SHIFT] [ C ] erases the last step.

The program space can be erased by entering a number program from scratch or prior to choosing which program slot, pressing [SHIFT] [ C ].  A little confusing.  

Verdict

The keyboard is very clean and organized.  Despite the lack of steps, the EC-4024 is a great calculator and programmable scientific calculators that run on solar power are far and few between.  I was lucky to find the EC-4024 because usually fx-10F, fx-50F, and EC-4024 are either not available or command a medium to high price.

HP 42S/DM42/Free42: X-Ray Spectrometric Calculations

HP 42S/DM42/Free42:   X-Ray Spectrometric Calculations

Introduction

The program XRAY contains a menu of several calculations involving flat crystal spectronomers, which include:

[ >EW ]:  Energy wavelength conversion, where E * λ = 12.39852.  E = energy and λ = wavelength

[ →N ]:  Store n, where n is the nth crystal.   You can calculate for any crystal and have any number of crystals for this program.

[ANGLE]:  Calculates the double diffraction angle, in degrees, of any crystal given n, E, and λ by using the Bragg Equation:

θ = 2 * asin( (12.39852 * n) / (E * d) )

where d = the spacing of the crystal planes

You will be prompted for E and d each time.

[E KEV]:  Uses the Bragg Equation to calculate energy (E), given n, d, and θ.  You will be prompted for d and θ each time.

[ENRGY]:  Calculates the energy resolving power (δ) at an X-ray given its line energy (E), double refraction angle (θ), and angular divergence of the collimator (δ). 

ENERGY  = (E * 1000 * δ° * π / 180) / tan θ

Enter δ in degrees.
