Constants & Units
ND1 has some built-in constants. You can use them by name on the edit line or in expressions, just like variables. Unlike variables, you cannot assign a value to them.
In addition to the constants listed here, there’s a Constants downloadable folder, which contains many physical constants. These can be installed into the calculator for global availability.
ND1 features an extensive unit conversion system. Its use is described in Just a Few More Things. You can refer to a unit name by either its long name (e.g., “Inch”), or its short name (e.g., “in”), as indicated in the list below.
The units appear in the Units section of My Data, and are fully editable: you can add, or remove, individual units as well as unit categories. Unit conversions are specified either by factor or RPL program (see Temperature below).
Overview
version the current version number of the calculator / MorphEngine (presently, “1.1”)
e the number e (JavaScript value Math.E)
i the imaginary number i, i.e., (0,1)
ln10 the natural logarithm of 10 (JavaScript value Math.LN10)
ln2 the natural logarithm of 10 (JavaScript value Math.LN2)
π, pi the number pi (JavaScript value Math.PI)
half_pi_period two divided by pi
MAXR the largest positive number representable with non-big numbers (JS value Number.MAX_VALUE)
MINR the smallest positive number representable with non-big numbers (JS value Number.MIN_VALUE)
MEM the amount of memory available (10 MB on iPhone and iPod touch)
sqrt2 the square root of two (JavaScript value Math.SQRT2)
