I'm (fruitlessly) trying to make a program that will display more than one output. The most current headache is a program that converts rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates. I have the program doing everything except displaying both angle and magnitude. Any help you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated!

[EDIT] I should add that I have an fx-9750GII.

Hello cdc120602 and welcome to UCF! You should introduce yourself.

Could you show us your code?

[cdc120602]

Sure! Thank you for the reply! I'm an Electronics Engineering Technology student and have a few other places I could really use this ability. So far, I have the following:

"X coordinate"?->X
"Y coordinate"?->Y
√(X²+Y²)->R
Tan^-1(Y/X)->A
R "Angle" A

Sorry I don't know how to post better representations of the calculator display.
Basically, I'd like to have it show two calculated values (R and A) in one output.

Try this:

"X coordinate"?->X
"Y coordinate"?->Y
√(X^2+Y^2)->R
Tan^-1(Y/X)->A
"Magnitude:"
R
"Angle:"
A

Thank you again for the reply. When I try it that way, I get the following:

Magnitude:
Angle:
35 //Assuming that 35 is the correct angle for the values entered.

For some reason, I can only get one calculation in my output.

Maybe this will work?

"X coordinate"?->X
"Y coordinate"?->Y
√(X^2+Y^2)->R
Tan^-1(Y/X)->A
Locate 1, 1, "Magnitude:"
Locate 1, 2, R
Locate 1, 3, "Angle:"
Locate 1, 4, A

flyingfisch, you are a casio god! That worked!

Explanation of why it worked:

When you do this, only the last number is shown:

1->A
2->B
A
B

The output would be 2

So, we have to manually display the numbers like this:

1->A
2->B
Locate 1,1,A
Locate 1,2,B

Output would be:

1
2

This is because the Locate command displays text anywhere on the screen.

The Locate command takes three arguments:

Locate <x>,<y>,<string>
