RPN vs Constructive Calculator

A dream calculator of the 70's, priced at $3,200 in today's dollars, now affordable for everyone! RPN-97 Pro is the first complete simulation of Hewlett-Packard's legendary HP-97 programmable calculator for iOS. Produced from 1976 to 1984, the HP-97's features coupled with its capability to store programs on magnetic cards made it a huge success among scientists, engineers and other professionals. Thousands of programs were written for it. Now you can run them right on your iPad, with more ease and faster than ever before. To get you started quickly, download hundreds of program cards from our website for free. What users said: “The most delightful app I possess. The magnet card reader emulation rocks. Would have paid much more for this." "As the owner of an actual working HP 97 calculator, I am blown away with this new simulator. Simply fabulous." "Whoever coded this my hat goes off to you - what a professional piece of work, incredible app." RPN-97 Pro is fully compatible with RPN-67 Pro, its companion simulator of the HP-67 calculator. Features: • Virtual program and data cards • Virtual paper tape printer • Powerful database-driven card manager • Create, label, and organize a virtually unlimited number of cards • Use iTunes to effortlessly save entire card collections on your Mac/PC • Sharing: e-mail, AirDrop, Dropbox, copy, paste, print • Formatted listing clearly showing labels and targets of branches • E-mail listings and let the recipient paste the text right into RPN-97 • Print listings on any AirPrint-compatible printer • Program listing on paper tape shows subroutine nesting • Edit paper tape • E-mail paper tape, or print it via AirPrint • Cut/copy/paste displayed value or program steps • Paste HP-67 or HP-97 listings from other sources into RPN-97 and run them • "Live" display of stack, memory registers, program counter, flags • Show program usage notes • 30 selectable background images, even add your own • Much faster than a real HP-97 • Low-battery indicator (iPad charge 10% or less) • Compatible with RPN-67 Pro and RPN-67 SD, CuVee Software's HP-67 simulators • Supports hardware keyboard While RPN-97 Pro can work exactly like a real HP-97, changing a simple setting will turn the app into a super-charged HP-97: • Up to 999 program steps, 8 subroutine levels, 6 additional flags (F4...F9) • 100 additional registers • 100 additional labels • 100 built-in constants and conversions • More than 150 additional powerful operations and functions Plus: • 15 commands to print and manipulate any range of extended registers • Unrestricted register arithmetic • Exchange x with any register • Complex numbers mode, hyperbolic functions • Non-volatile memory - stack, registers, program, flags, paper tape • Status indicators for prefix keys (EXT, f, LBL, GTO, etc.) • Display showing thousands separators (optional) • Text output on paper tape in 10 colors, even simple plotting • Stack-of-stack: push/pop the entire stack on internal stack (4 levels) • Single-step into subroutines (optional) • Powerful debugging aids, including 10 breakpoints with counters • Keycodes translated to command name while entering or single-stepping a program • Change the duration of the PAUSE command • Cancel SST or BST operation by simply sliding your finger off the depressed key • Compress constants in programs into a single step (reversible) • Use existing programs in text format by a simple paste operation RPN-97 Pro comes with more than 130 programs pre-installed, including HP Standard Pac, HP Business Decisions Pac, HP Math Pac I, HP Stat Pac I, and HP Surveying Pac I. The simulator has been verified to correctly run the examples given in HP Civil Engineering Pac I, HP Clinical Lab Pac, HP E.E. Pac I, HP Games Pac I, HP M.E. Pac I, HP Navigation Pac I, as well as large number of programs published in Users' Library Solutions. For more information and free program downloads visit the RPN-97/67 website: cuveesoft.ch/rpn67

Ordinary calculators round. Constructive Calculator doesn't. It computes with constructive real numbers, an arbitrary-precision engine that keeps every result exact and hands you as many correct digits as you ask for. The rounding errors that quietly accumulate in ordinary calculators simply never happen. AS MANY DIGITS AS YOU WANT A pocket calculator stops at about 15 digits and rounds off the rest. Constructive Calculator keeps every result exact, so the digits a normal calculator throws away are still there. Swipe √2, π, or any answer to pull in tens, hundreds, or thousands more, computed on demand. SCIENTIFIC KEYPAD Trigonometry in degrees or radians and their inverses, exponentials and logarithms, powers and roots, factorials, percentages, the constants π and e, and the standard normal distribution, its CDF Φ and quantile Φ⁻¹, computed to the same arbitrary precision as everything else. BIG INTEGERS, IN FULL 52! (the number of ways to shuffle a deck) prints in full, all 68 of its digits, with no scientific-notation hand-waving. BUILT FOR CLARITY A running tape of recent calculations, locale-aware digit grouping, and copy at whatever precision you need. Constructive Calculator is an independent port of Hans Boehm's constructive-reals calculator, rebuilt natively for iPhone and iPad.
