hp11c.jpg (23084 bytes)The HP-11C was the second most powerful member of Hewlett-Packard's Voyager series of calculators, second only to the HP-15C. Like its bigger cousin, the HP-11C is a highly versatile, pleasant to use calculator. I can only repeat myself: it's a real pity that this series of calculators (with the sole exception of the HP-12C) is no longer in production.

Just as one would expect from a high-end scientific calculator, the HP-11C has even a built-in implementation of the Gamma function (or, to be precise, its built-in factorial function is a generalized factorial, yielding results for all real arguments.) This makes the writing of a Gamma function program an exercise in redundancy. On the other hand, I didn't really have to write one new, since the program I wrote for the HP-15C could be easily converted. Of course on the HP-11C it is no longer capable of handling complex arguments, but it can still serve as a useful demonstration of this calculator's capabilities.
