DEVELOPMENT
OF
PROGRAMMING
Sryte:
Whether
you're
programming
your
calculator,
or
a
large
scale
computer
—
keep
one
point
in
mind:
there
is
no
single
unique
programming
solution
to
any
problem.
As
you
gain
experience
in
programing,
you'll
find
yoursel!
developing
your
own
unique
style,
“tricks
of
the
trade”,
and
favorite
techniques
in
getting
at
a
solution.
As
you
begin
gaining
experience,
it's
a
good
idea
to
review
your
techniques
periodically
to
be
sure
you're
using
all
the
power
of
your
machine.
Don't
be
afraid
to
explore
new
routes,
try
new
alternatives,
and
experiment
with
new
methods.
Programming
is
an
excellent
exercise
in
clear,
common
sense,
logical
thinking
that
many
folks
enjoy
(and
some
are
quite
addicted
to).
Your
calculator
is
deliberately
designed
to
allow
you
to
get
started
easily,
and
then
grow
quite
quickly
into
an
expert
in
creating
programs.
Movine On:
One
more
point:
=
your
calculator
is
easy
to
use,
and
readily
accessible
and
affordable.
But,
it
incorporates
most
all
of
the
major
features
and
functions
of
any
large-scale
computer!
The
concepts
of
a
program
memory,
@
program
pointer
that
moves
through
it,
labels,
go
to
instructions,
loops
and
‘conditional
transfers
are
common
to
all
digital
programmable
devices.
Once
you've
learned
to
program
your
calculator
you'll
find
it
quite
easy
to
move
on
to
programming
any
machine
—
no
matter
what
the
scale.
Larger
scale
computers
simply
accept
their
input
in
different
ways,
have
more
ways
to
get
output
results
to
you,
and
in
general
are
equipped
to
handle
and
store
larger
amounts
of
information.
Most
commonly
a
beginner
will
approach
these
machines
by
writing
instructions
one
at
a
time,
on
cards,
paper
tape
or
magnetic
discs.
These
one-at-a-time
instructions
will
resemble
your
keystroke
instructions
—
particularly
in
most
common
beginning
computer
languages
such
as
FORTRAN
or
BASIC.
The
keyboard
design
of
your
calculator
will
allow
you
to
learn
Programming
easily
in
either
of
these
languages,
after
learning
the
basics
on
your
machine.
In
the
next.
decade,
logic
and
memory
will
become
omnipresent
in
our
everyday
lives.
Programmable
devices
will
be
everywhere
—
in
the
kitchen,
in
your
home
finances,
in
communications,
in
personal
security,
—
everywhere,
Learning
the
basics
of
programming
on
your
calculator
now,
will
prepare
you
for
the
sound
use
of
these
devices
—
and
enable
you
to
enjoy
them
as
a
natural
part
of
your
daily
living.
