I get paid to sit here and talk on s2ki.com to Josh about how he gets paid to look at porn. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. Except... I think that makes me a poser.

Well no one typed this up for a TI-86 calculator.

P.S. Adding fuel to the fire...

 

Real men use the TI-81.

Real programmers need no fluff and should be able to do this in assembly language for the 80x86.....

...man if i had the time to go back to my notes for a refresher, I'd show you young bucks a thing or two.

 

Nah... use a 68000 so you don't have to use all those funky addressing modes.

<sigh> I can remember when having a 16-bit index register seemed soooooooooooo cool...

anyway, here's some code that should compile under tasm

Extrn Getdec:Far
Extrn Putdec:Far
Extrn PutStrng:Far

Data Segment
Prompt db "ENTER TEMPERATURE IN DEGREES FAHRENHEIT ";
Annotation db " TEMPERATURE IN DEGREES CENTIGRADE ";
Data Ends

Code Segment
Assume Cs:Code, Dsata, Ss: SSeg
main Proc Far
Mov Ax, Seg Data
Mov Ds, Ax
Mov Es, Ax

Mov Cx, 40
Lea Di, Prompt
Call Putstrng

Call Getdec

Sub Ax, 32
Mov Bx, 5
Imul Bx
Mov Bx, 9
Idiv Bx
Xchg Ax, Dx

Mov Bl, 5
Idiv Bl
Cbw
Add Ax, Dx

Mov Cx, 40
Lea Di, Annotation
Call Putstrng

Mov Bh, 0
Call Putdec

Mov Ah, 4ch
Int 21h
main Endp
Code Ends

SSeg Segment STACK
DB 254 dup(?)
SSeg Ends

End main

 

I'm amazed that I could still read assembler....and I'm futher amazed that the code looks pretty kosher.

 

Real men use the HP 48

something about RPN!

yamo,

Touche. I amend my post:

Real men build their own damn analog computers out of vacuum tubes.

Don't even bring the Babbage machine up.
