General:
To enter the program, press the programming key (middle upper key),
then C key (which selects the NEW program option), then ENTER, then 1 (to
select real mode), then the program name. The calculator will be in
A-LOCK mode. Hit ALPHA at the end of the name, and then ENTER. After typing
each command, press the ENTER key.
To enter a Capitalized Command hit COMMAND (2ndF MATH), then select
one of the menus PROGram, BRaNCH, INEQualities, GRAPH, SCReeN, and
select your instruction from that menu.
Commands: Remarks and keying instructions
h=(-a + b)/n Use the minus sign below 3 to enter "minus a";
The = is ALPHA ENTER. The Sharp automatically
prompts for undefined variables. Here a is
the lower limit, b is the upper limit, and
n is the number of subdivisions. For /, press
the division key, under the the ) key.
x=a These three commands initialize x, y (the
y=ya running total for the final value) and
i=1 the counter i.
Label 1 This spot in the program is labelled 1.
Label is from the BRNCH menu.
f=y To change equations, edit this line.
This line defines the function f in
terms of the current x and y.
y=y+f*h The new y-value is computed using the current
x and y values. For *, press the multiplica-
tion key, under the ( key.
x=x+h Update x.
i=i+1 Add 1 to the counter.
If i< =n Goto 1 If i is less than or equal to
n, the program recycles back to the spot
labelled 1. If i is greater than n, (the
job is over and) the program goes on to
the next command.
For If and Goto get to BRNCH menu as
before, then select If or Goto. For < =
go to INEQ menu and select the third item.
Print y The calculator will display y=(value). Print
is 1 on the PROG menu.
End (optional) End is 6 on the PROG menu.
Ending:
After pressing the ENTER key for the last command (End), press the QUIT
key.Running the program: Remeber to re-edit when you switch equations. In the program menu (upper middle key) choose A (for RUN menu), then right arrow then down arrow to EULER, then ENTER. Enter numbers at the question mark (a=? etc.) prompts.
Check: for f = y, a = 0, b = 1, n = 10 and ya = 1 the approximate y(1) should be 2.59374246.
