AMORT

Type:

Command

 

 

 

 

Description:

Amortize Command: Amortizes a loan or investment based upon the current amortization

 

settings.

 

 

 

 

 

Values must be stored in the TVM variables (I%YR, PV, PMT, and PYR). The number of

 

payments n is taken from the input together with flag –14.

Function

 

 

 

 

Type:

 

 

 

 

Description:

And Function: Returns the logical AND of two arguments.

 

 

When the arguments are binary integers or strings, AND does a bit-by-bit (base 2) logical comparison.

•An argument that is a binary integer is treated as a sequence of bits as long as the current

wordsize. Each bit in the result is determined by comparing the corresponding bits (bit1 and bit2) in the two arguments as shown in the following table.

•An argument that is a string is treated as a sequence of bits, using 8 bits per character (that is, using the binary version of the character code). The two string arguments must have the same number of characters.

When the arguments are real numbers or symbolics, AND simply does a true/false test. The result is 1 (true) if both arguments are non-zero; it is 0 (false) if either or both arguments are zero. This test is usually done to compare two test results.

If either or both of the arguments are algebraic expressions, then the result is an algebraic of the

form symb1 AND symb2. Execute →NUM (or set flag –3 before executing AND) to produce a numeric result from the algebraic result.
