Algebraic Versions of Programs from
Part III of the Owner's Handbook

About this Appendix

This appendix contains algebraic versions of the eleven programs found in Part III of the
HP12C Platinum Owner's Handbook and Problem-Solving Guide. It does not cover the
step-by-step examples given in Part III.
These programs are solely for the HP 12C Platinum, and work properly only when the
calculator is set to ALG mode.
They should be tested by running the corresponding program examples given in the
HP12C Platinum Owner's Handbook and Problem-Solving Guide. They work exactly the
same as the RPN versions. The instructions for running these programs are not included
here. They are simply listed with reference to the relevant section in the HP12C Platinum
Owner's Handbook and Problem-Solving Guide. The register usage is the same as in the
RPN versions.
In order to execute miscellaneous side calculations which are done during the program
examples, these additional steps are required in algebraic mode:
1. The first three depreciation programs specify a side calculation to calculate the total
depreciation through the current year - the algebraic version of this is:
:$+:3-~-:M³ .
2. Section 14 - the Advance Payments with Residual-Solving for Payment program
Example 1 stores 15/12 in R
keystrokes are: 15 z 12 ³? 1 and 18 z 12 ³? 1.
3. At the end of the bond programs the total price is obtained by pressing: +~³ .
4. Section 16 - the 30/360 Day Basis Bonds program Example 2 stores 93 ⅜ in R
algebraic keystrokes are: 3 z 8 + 93 ³? 1.
The program listings have been formatted in double columns and apart from one instance
the listings do not span pages, thus making key entry convenient.
