iq7000.jpg (50323 bytes)This Sharp IQ-7000 wouldn't qualify as a programmable calculator were it not for its modular design, and the existence of a BASIC card that turns this high-end organizer into a full-function BASIC programmable computer.

The programming model of this BASIC interpreter is similar to that found on many other BASIC-programmable Sharp calculators. Curiously, the BASIC card also contains a built-in "AER" application, which emulates the "Algebraic Expression Reserve" formula programming method found on other Sharp handheld programmables.

The programming example below computes the logarithm of the Gamma function for any real argument. This variation makes use the so-called reflection formula that provides a simple relationship between the Gamma function values for +x and −x.
