Casio fx-8500G

fx8500g.jpg (62481 bytes)The fx-8500G is another calculator from Casio's fx-8000 family, shown here with the FA-80 cassette/printer interface.

The program below demonstrates the calculator's programming model by implementing the Gamma function using the solution from Numerical Recipes in C: 

"X=":?->X
1->Y
Lbl 1
X>=0=>Goto 2
XY->Y:X+1->X
Goto 1
