This is easy: turn to lower case and enter [f] [E] o (the first two for switching to superscript).
Doesn't work when put in as a codeline in program.
Fixed meanwhile by Didier (merci!). Will be working in next release.
Excellent and thank you :)

I don't know whether this should be reported as a "bug" or maintenance or maybe a "fix" proposition.

As reported earlier, I crashed my WP43 quite often the first couple of days I fiddled with it.
As I see this in perspective, I don't think the calc "crashed" as such. It just became very busy for a very very long time. (Not measured, but probably for sever hours if not reset or battery removed).

I discovered this when I gave completely wrong values to variables or limits.
While watchin a YT film about integration I entered this:
SQRT(SIN(X)^2+1)
When accuracy were set to 1E-8, it ran for a few seconds and came up with a correct result (to 9 decimals).
I then set accuracy to 1E16 (Note the miss here; not *minus* 16). And the calc went into the hour glass mode for more than 20 minutes (the time it took for me to find a toothpick at the airport), so I reset it.
While running a program/equation/integration like this, the R/S does not respond, neither does "exit" or any other key for that matter.

Is it possible to implement that the R/S stops whatever the calc is doing? I of course misspell equations or values and it's kinda hazzly to find a toothpick or any suitable pointy device to stop the calculator. Besides, then I have to reinstall the state file before continuing to use the calc.

Thanks for reporting we'll look into it. To help us reproduce the issue, can you provide the complete sequence, including the upper and lower bounds for the integral?

Hi,

Routine used:

Code: Select all

LBL 'TOAST'
MVAR 'x'
RCL 'x'
sin
x^2
1
+
SQRT
END

With all clear stack (all to 0):
Going into
f ADV
F6 (Integral function)
PROG
TOAST
Hitting F1 (x) twice

Settings:
ACC to 1E16 (Note, not "minus 16")
Lower limit to 0
Upper limit 2xPI
Hit f6 (integrate)

The calc with the attached state and program (TOAST) will hang with the hour glass symbol and not responding to anything except reset button or battery removal.

With ACC set to (correctly) 1E-16, the integration runs for abt 10-12 seconds and gives this (correct I assume) answer:
7,640 395 578 055 424
In SHOW: 7,640 395 578 055 424 035 809 524 164 342 788

Thanks, issue logged. Note: it occurs also on the C47.

The integration hanging issue with big ACC values has been fixed thanks to Mihail, it will be in the next release.

When I enter 125 cc 225 (from Page 168 of the WP43 OM), the display shows

125.00 ∡ -135.00° instead of 125.00 ∡ 225.00° which is shown in the manual.

My setup:
DISP FIX 2
MODE DEG
SF X

What am I missing?

225- -135 = 360

This is a feature, not an error. Angles are 'normalized' to fall in -180° ... +180°. There should be respective notes in the OM and ReM...
