HP Prime and Casio fx-CG 50: Binary Conversions

HP Prime and Casio fx-CG 50:   Binary Conversions 

x = 2 * (1 + n)^p

The program DECOM2 takes a real number, x, and decomposes it to the form of:

x = 2 * (1 + n)^p

HP Prime Program:  DECOMP2

EXPORT DECOMP2(x)
BEGIN
// 2020-07-11 EWS
// x → 2^p*(1+n)
LOCAL s,p,n,str;
s:=ABS(x);
p:=FLOOR(LOG(s)/LOG(2));
n:=s/2^p-1;
str:=STRING(SIGN(X))+"*2^"+STRING(p)+
"*(1+"+STRING(n)+")";
RETURN str;
END;

Examples:

-720 = -1 * 2^9 * (1 + 0.40625)

0.7868 = 1 * 2^-1 * (1 + 0.5736)

Converting Numbers to Binary

The program RBIN converts any real number in base 10 to base 2, including non-integers and negative numbers.  The result is displayed as a string.   The HP Prime program has one string for output while the Casio fx-CG 50 uses two:  Str1 for the integer part and Str2 for the fractional part.

RBIN will need two arguments:  the number to be converted and the precision level.

For the precision level:

1 rounds the number to the nearest 1/2 before conversion.

2 rounds the number to the nearest 1/4 before conversion.

3 rounds the number to the nearest 1/8 before conversion.

4 rounds the number to the nearest 1/16 before conversion.

and so on.

HP Prime Program:  RBIN

EXPORT RBIN(x,p)
BEGIN
// 2020-07-11 EWS
// Decimal to Binary
// decimal, precision
// for real x, rounded 1/2^p

LOCAL b,i,f,n,s,w,k,str;
s:=ABS(x);
b:=IP(s)+ROUND(FP(s)*2^p,0)/2^p;
str:="";
i:=IP(b);
f:=FP(b);

IF i≠0 THEN
n:=IP(LOG(i)/LOG(2));
FOR k FROM n DOWNTO 0 STEP 1 DO
w:=IP(i/2^k);
str:=str+STRING(w);
i:=i-w*2^k; 
END;
END;

IF f≠0 THEN
str:=str+".";
FOR k FROM 0 TO p-1 DO
w:=IP(2*f);
str:=str+STRING(w);
f:=FP(2*f);
END;
END;

IF x<0 font="" then="">
str:="-"+str;
END;

RETURN str;
END;
