Editing a Program
Even the most experienced programmer finds errors in his pro-
grams. These errors range from mistakes in the original equa-
tions to mistakes in recording the program. Wherever they
occur they need to be found and corrected, and the HP-25 is
designed to make this error-checking process as easy as
possible.
Finding the Error
One of the easiest ways to find out if your program is working
properly is to work a test case in which you either know the
answer or the answer can be easily determined. For example, if
you have a program that calculates the area of a circle using the
formula area = 7 X r2, you can easily determine that an input
value of 1 for r will give an answer of 7.

will seldom pinpoint the mistake. For these cases, you can slow
