Standard format change-engineering

[Levak]

I don't really understand the statements "setMode(3,1)=num2" and "setMode(3,3)=num2"
Were you looking for "getMode(3)=1" and "getMode(3)=3" ?

Also, what are you trying to accomplish with "num2▶setMode(3,1)" ? Doesn't do anything but an error for me.

What I would do is :

Code: Select all

Define to_eng(x)=Prgm
  setMode(3,3)
  Disp x
EndPrgm

I was thinking of making a program that detect the format and I changed it like this:
Norm => Eng
Eng => Norm

[Bisam]

I said : Use the function "format" !

Code: Select all

Define my_disp(x)=Prgm
Disp format(x,"f6"),format(x,"e6")
EndPrgm

Can't you read the manual ? It is on page 48 of the "Reference Guide"...

I've read .... but he had not seen ...
thank you very much

[jmat]

retake this thread need to program a code that given a number I return multiple formats scientists
example:

0.00956
0.956E-2
9.56E-3
95.6E-4
956.0E-5
9560E-6

Thank you

Well, the answer is still at the same place...

[jmat]

Code: Select all

format(x,"e6")


If I change to e2, e3, e4 .... just gives me more decimals but does not change the exponential me.

Oh, you're right... you'll have to make it by yourself, if so !
Your tools : the following functions :

- string(a) : converts "a" to a character string
- mid(string, from, number) : extracts "number" characters from "string" beginning at the character placed in "from" position. "number" is optional. If omitted, all the characters from "from" position to end of string are selected
- string1 & string2 : concatenates 2 strings
- inString(search_string, pattern, from) : looks for "pattern" in "search_string" beginning at "from" position and returns the position of the first character of pattern found in search_string. If not found, returns 0. "from" is optional and equals 1 if omitted.

looketh manual to see if they do ... I am somewhat newbie
