For a integer number we have Γ(n)=(n-1)! and Γ(n+1)=n!. The number in gamma function must bereal.In this point HP-42S is different from 33S which has

5 Complex Numbers5.1 Complex numbers in rectangular coordinates.Unlike the HP-33S (and its ancestor HP-32SII) complex numbers are straight supported a

6 ProgrammingProgramming in HP-42 is very simple. It does not use RPL style of HP-48 or HP-49. You programin the same way you use the calculator and u

11 Other BasesTo work with other bases we must use the ▀ BASE menu (over the “4”). This menu has the following functions:A...F: Select hexadecimal mod

12 FlagsThe HP-42S has 100 flags from 00 to 99. A flag is a “binary memory” which works as an indicatorof calculator's status. A flag can be “set
