HP Prime - Programming & Newton's Method (Part 1)

[@Chrls5]

WOW, programming the prime reminds me of the very first stuff that i learned to program which was PASCAL back when i had an old Pentium II-128MB-RAM-Windows95-PC, it feels the same!

[@enantiodromia]

Can you instruct the calculator to use more decimal digits for increased precision?

[@enantiodromia]

The way to implement a new function is extremely cumbersome. Would this be clearer if Python is used?

[@todatsu]

This is a great video,thanks a lot. I have an HP Prime, and I would like to learn how to program it. The manual that comes with it seems to assume a certain amount of programming background. Any tips for how to dive into programming HP´s PPL for someone with zero knowledge about computer progamming? Thanks

David Kirchner Look up « khan academy », great tutorials.

[@KOL0WASO]

the "export" code " that you put before the begin, is to use its values in a table lists right!?

[@MsMan602]

My program is exactly the same as yours but when I press run it comes up with syntax error? What is the problem

[@odarge]

thanks for this vidéo. I’ll start playing with a Prime soon and your explanation here is very interesting for somebody experienced on other HP (RPL). What about your Prime today, in 2021 ?

[@rs1n]

A lot has changed on the Prime since those early videos. I feel that it has matured a lot since its initial release. It is definitely not meant to be a replacement for the HP48/49/50 series, but as an educational tool it is great for students to use for mathematics and to learn programming.

[@mattiasarvidsson8522]

where did u download the emulator?

[@rs1n]

It's the "Toolbox" -- think of it as the key that gives access to pretty much everything available in (terms of commands) on the calculator, excluding apps.

[@salmorreale7900]

I cannot get my connectivity kit to recognize the emulator. Windows 10 pro. The connectivity kit is form the hp web site. The emulator is from hpcalc.org. Tried the Microsoft store as well. Neither the paid or unpaid versions of the emulator work.

[@CopperheadSysop]

The syntax reminds me of Pascal. Although, "local" defines local variables but is this soft typed (primarily because, is it a local float or a local int or local string)?

[@IonCubekhanz]

Plz author show tutorial how can I use mathplotl that comes with new firmware in Python app ...how to make plots

[@TheAmmoniacal]

Anyone know how I make a linear regression line forced through 0,0? Just approximated to AX instead of the AX+B

[@Luizof]

WHAT IS IN F0 ???

[@iwantoiwanto6080]

Is the program you installed officially released by HP? Can the created program store to the calculator?

[@rs1n]

The HP Connectivity Kit is available to the public. You can use it to not only create programs, but also transfer them to your calculator.

[@iwantoiwanto6080]

@@rs1n thank you. Now I will watch your videos one by one ☺️

[@marcelo6838]

CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO WITH THE COMMAND IF , THEN OR WHERE I CAN SEE THE XPLAIN OF ALL THE COMMMADS OF HP PRIME ? HELP ME PLEASE

[@omfgwasnnoob]

Nice! Helped me a lot, thanks!

[@gustavomachado7512]

Dude, I dont know whats wrong with my code.... could u send me this in text?

[@americanswan]

I want one of these calculators so badly, but I have absolutely no use for it. That said, I should get two. One for each of my sons. They have to take the SAT in a few years.

[@enantiodromia]

The Prime is not allowed on SAT exams

[@ericlindal8008]

Great! Thanks 🙏

[@eminimethodsdotcom]

Nice, useful videos. Thanks!

[@iceeezyyy8648]

The sound of the videos is not good

[@AntonioCarlosLimaFeitosa]

Niguém Live Seating Graphing the field and Yes Calculations and Programs for Me to HP50g is Still Superior Very Programming, For I am Programmer of Two Language and This regressed HP39g + that nobody Like to Use and Not Have Much For Output is Pecima, But Who Like to Buy That New Appearance to Show If Only and Not Use!

[@rs1n]

It's designed for a different market -- this calculator is aimed mainly at education. HP is still selling the HP50G and to my knowledge does not plan to discontinue the HP50G even though the HP Prime has now been released. While the HP50G may be more programmable, the speed of the HP Prime's programming language (as well as its easy learning curve) should not be so easily dismissed.

[@michaelbauers8800]

My god, it's full of PASCAL. I wonder why they chose that syntax for a calculator? Python would be simpler, but then you have the indenting rules. C is also very compact, and simple for use with a calculator.

[@rs1n]

The most recent beta has Python support, which suggests this will be in the next official firmware update.
