XEQ P (the parallel resistance program :-) )
^^^ BTW, while everyone knows that the parallel impedance
formula is 1/Result
= 1/Z1 + 1/Z2, for those of us who can get geeky with respect
to calculators
and numerical methods, using Result = (Z1*Z2)/(Z1+Z2) is more
accurate when Z1
is significantly larger or smaller than Z2... hence some of
the motivation to
write a program to do it each time.
When I have anything worth programming, I do it in PowerBasic.
It's
portable and archivable, and I can use double floats if needed.
PB
even has 80-bit floats!
if you need 80 bit floats ....
I am surprised you guys are not using some functional programming
language like scheme (lisp/Lambda calc variants) where your reals are
number abstractions with no language or data type imposed limit on the
number size or precision and of course no numerical methods
issues/errors from typical float/double data type limitations
just wondering,
Loosely-typed or untyped data is a mare's nest of bugs just waiting to
happen.
There are no types in assembly. We don't need no stinkin' types!
Yeah, but assembly doesn't have built-in 80-bit floats! ;-)
Pentium assembly does.
