Programming
Basics
The
next
three
sections
are
dedicated
to
explaining
aspects
of
programming
the
HP-16C.
These
programming
sections
will
first
discuss
basic
techniques
(The
Mechanics),
then
give
example(s)
for
the
implementation
of
these
techniques,
and
lastly
discuss
any
details
of
operation
(Further
Information).
This
allows
you
to
read
only
as
far
as
you
need
to
support
your
use
of
the
HP-16C.
The
Mechanics
Creating
a
Program
Programming
the
HP-16C
is
an
easy
matter,
based
simply
on
recording
the
keystroke
sequence
used
when
calculating
manually.
(This
is
called
“keystroke
programming.”)
To
create
a
program
out
of
a
series
of
calculation
steps
requires
two
extra
manipulations:
deciding
where
and
how
to
enter
your
data;
and
loading
and
storing
the
program.
In
addition,
programs
can
be
designed
to
make
decisions
and
perform
iterations
through
conditional
and
unconditional
branching.
Stepping
through
the
fundamentals
of
programming,
we’ll
work
through
a
program
designed
to
concatenate
two
16-bit
words
in
the
X-
and
Y-registers
into
one
32-bit
word
in
the
X-register.
