[sdiy] DSP books [was: Re: OBJECT ORIENTED C in synth programming]

[Mike Gorman]

I think the arrow symbols are actually Less than and Greater Than symbols.

It appears that the font used for the code samples either didn't have a
proper character for these symbols or it was a cut and paste of a printout
which has required manual drawing of these symbols. This also fits with the
logic of the code.

For example, line 1440 of Figure 13-5 should read 

	1440 IF T1>=1 THEN T1=T1-1

I also spotted a bug in one of the code lines in Figure 13.7 which may also
explain these odd characters

	1430 IF ABS(T(I)>A1 THEN LET A1=ABS(T(I))

The greater than symbol in this code is actually shown as 1/2 in my example
of the book (ISBN 0-8104-5773-3 from 1980).

Hope this helps

Regards

Mike

Are the "arrow symbols" marks indicating that the code continues on a second
line? I've seen that done in some listings.

I suppose us types have an intuitive, yet limited understand of numbers.
The same seems true of me and analog electronics.  anyway, that reminds me
of a 2nd book I like.  It's free online:
