THE 'STK DIGIT' SUBROUTINE This subroutine simply returns if the current value held in the A register does not repre- sent a digit but if it does then the floating-point form for the digit becomes the 'last value' on the calculator stack. 2D22 STK-DIGIT CALL 2D1B,NUMERIC Is the character a digit? RET C Return if not in range. SUB +30 Replace the code by the actual digit. THE 'STACK-A' SUBROUTINE This subroutine gives the floating-point form for the absolute binary value currently held in the A register. 2D28 STACK-A LD C,A Transfer the value to the C register. LD B,+00 Clear the B register THE 'STACK-BC' SUBROUTINE This subroutine gives the floating-point form for the absolute binary value currently held in the BC register pair. The form used in this and hence in the two previous subroutines as well is the one reserved in the Spectrum for small integers n, where -65535 <= n <= 65535. The first and fifth bytes are zero; the third and fourth bytes are the less significant and more significant bytes of the 16 bit integer n in two's complement form (if n is negative, these two bytes hold 65536+n); and the second byte is a sign byte, 00 for '+' and FF for '-'. 2D2B STACK-BC LD IY,+5C3A Re-initialise IY to ERR-NR. XOR A Clear the A register. LD E,A And the E register, to indicate '+'. LD D,C Copy the less significant byte to D. LD C,B And the more significant byte to C. LD B,A Clear the B register. CALL 2AB6,STK-STORE Now stack the number. RST 0028,FP-CALC Make HL point to DEFB +38,end-calc STKEND-5. AND A Clear the carry flag. RET Finished. THE 'INTEGER TO FLOATING-POINT' SUBROUTINE This subroutine returns a 'last value' on the calculator stack that is the result of converting an integer in a BASIC line, i.e. the integer part of the decimal number or the line number, to its floating-point form. Repeated calls to CH-ADD+1 fetch each digit of the integer in turn. An exit is made when a code that does not represent a digit has been fetched. 2D3B INT-TO-FP PUSH AF Save the first digit - in A. RST 0028,FP-CALC Use the calculator. DEFB +A0,stk-zero The 'last value' is now zero. DEFB +38,end-calc POP AF Restore the first digit. Now a loop is set up. As long as the code represents a digit then the floating-point form is found and stacked under the 'last value'. The 'last value' is then multiplied by decimal 10 and added to the 'digit' to form a new 'last value' which is carried back to the start of the loop.
