FX-720P(F)Why am I listing a pocket computer/calculator with zero memory? The FX-720P is a machine with no built-in memory; all its memory is in the form of removable RAM cards. Otherwise, it is a typical example of a Casio BASIC-programmable handheld calculator.

The programming model of this machine is demonstrated by the following example, which computes the logarithm of the Gamma function:

10 INPUT "X",X
20 G=1
30 S= SGNX
40 Z= ABSX
50 IF Z>9 THEN 90
60 G=G*Z
70 Z=Z+1
80 GOTO 50
90 G= LN(Z* SQR(Z*( EXP(1/Z)- EXP(-1/Z))/2+1/810/Z^6))*Z- LNG
100 G=G-Z+ LN(2*π/Z)/2
110 IF S>0 THEN 130
120 G= LN(-π/X/ SIN(π*X))-G
130 PRINT G, EXPG
