Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around programming the HP 40G calculator, specifically focusing on the ARPL programming language and its similarities to FORTH. Participants seek resources and guidance on programming techniques, exploring both ARPL and RPL, and clarifying the capabilities of the HP 40G in terms of programming.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about resources for studying ARPL, noting its similarity to FORTH.
  • Another participant mentions difficulty finding information on ARPL and suggests considering RPL instead, stating that there are many resources available for RPL programming.
  • A different participant acknowledges familiarity with RPL but expresses uncertainty about programming it, asking for book recommendations.
  • One participant asserts that the HP 40G is not an RPL programmable calculator, indicating it uses applets and BASIC, and suggests referring to the manual for the HP 39G for more information.
  • Another participant points out the existence of an Australian website dedicated to the HP 38G, HP 39G, and HP 40G calculators for further learning.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the programming capabilities of the HP 40G, with some advocating for ARPL and others for RPL. There is no consensus on the best approach or available resources for programming the calculator.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention limitations in finding detailed resources on ARPL and clarify the programming environment of the HP 40G, which may affect the applicability of suggestions made.

greetings,
I have purchased a Hp40g calculator and I am familiar with CAS and son on and all the basic functions, yet I don't know how to programm my calculator. I read that the programming lanuage ARPL is similar to FORTH( if it helps). So what I am asking is: are there any recommendable sources on studying ARPL?

thanks in advance

I couldn't even find any links to ARPL, so it doesn't seem to be described in any detail that I could find. What about programming your calculator in RPL? I found lots of resources, including tutorials on RPL.

I know of RPL, yet I can't programm it. Yes it does work with the calculators of, I think, 20-50 or 30-50(that is of the HP graphic calculator series). Maybe I shall try and do it in RPL. Do you have any book recommendations?
 
No, the Hp 40G is not externally an RPL programmable calculator. It uses applets and BASIC. It is based upon the Hp 38G and is exactly the same as an Hp 39G but with CAS, so that you can download the manual Mastering your Hp 39G to learn more about using it. There is an Australian website devoted to the Hp 38G, Hp 39G and Hp 40G calculator where you can learn all of the details of using and programming this calculator.
