Casio fx-5400P
With a calculator manufacturer as prolific as Casio, there are bound to be some surprises. One such surprise is this fx-5400P pocket calculator/computer. When I got my hands on this model, I expected to see a standard keystroke-programmable scientific calculator; what I found instead is a BASIC-programmable pocket computer with a unique touch keyboard.
Although similar in many ways to other Casio BASIC programmables, the fx-5400P also has some unique features. Among them: 2-variable statistics; a scientific constants library; and scientific functions not commonly available on BASIC programmables, such as hyperbolic functions.
The programming model of the fx-5400P is straightforward Casio BASIC. It is demonstrated by the following program, 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 GOTO50 90 G=LN(Z* SQR(Z* HYP SIN(1/Z)+1/810/Z^6))*Z-Z+ LN(2*π/Z)/2- LNG 100 IF S>0 THEN 120 110 G= LN(-π/X/ SIN(π*X))-G 120 PRINT G, EXPG
