i know, but it'd be cool to write a triangle solver in axe. regardless, i have one (almost) finished in BASIC which is only missing the ambiguous case.

I fear the grayscale quadratic solver axe port is next...

It'd be difficult to do in Axe. The first imaginary number might crash the program. You'd have to go into ASM to handle those.

Someone should write a quadratic solver.  Maybe I'll do it if I have time.

Off topic, but Qwerty.55, your sig is bringing back horrible memories of quantum physics, having to solve for the energy levels of multi-electron atoms.  The DE's got really really ugly...

lol that would be funny in some ways actually, although not as much as if the first Axe program ever released on ticalc.org was a quadratic solver. That happened to BBC Basic. :P

Glad to hear it ;D

I use that bloody equation more than I'd like to (IE more than not at all).

For some reason, all I can think of is the register. :P

Okay, bumping this.
I'm struggling to understand.  According to Axe the cosine of 0 is 127.  How do I get 1 out of this?

Divide by 128. Unfortunately, you'll lose 1/128th :( Read my slope physics tutorial for more help on this :) (Edit; I see you are. Never mind then :P)

I thought that was the case, however, cos(45) returns 63 in Axe.  cos(45) is approximately equal to .7071, however, 63/128 is .4922.

The sine and cosine functions in Axe use binary degrees because they're much more optimized. That means 256 degrees in a circle instead of 360. cos(32) would return a value much closer to what you're expecting.

Hmm.  Okay, I think I understand better.
Thanks!
