Under Construction

As usual, I wrote a Gamma function program to test the capabilities of this machine. In it, I made use of the DATA statement to simplify the program a little. Here's the result: 

10:DATA 76.18009172,9.5E-9
20:DATA -86.50532032,-9.4E-9
30:DATA 24.01409824,8E-10
40:DATA -1.231739572,-4.5E-10
50:DATA 1.208650973E-3,8.7E-13
60:DATA -5.395239384E-6,-9.5E-16
100:INPUT "X=",X
110:T=1
120:IF X>=0 THEN 160
130:T=T*X
140:X=X+1
150: GOTO 120
160:G=1.9E-10+1
170:FOR I=1 TO 6
180:READ C,D
190:G=G+(C+D)/(X+I)
200:NEXT I
210:G=LN (SQR (2*π)*G/X)
220:G=G-X-5.5+LN (X+5.5)*(X+.5)
230:PRINT EXP(G)/T
