Hereinafter, the processing of the editing and proofreading means 3 of this book will be explained using the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, key input is performed (30), and each function is processed using the input keys.

For example, the input key is the ``Table Edit'' key ('★' key 111
), the subroutine TABLE is called and the table editing function is executed (32
).

If the input key is the ``end'' key 116, the editing proofreading process is ended (33).

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the subroutine TABLE that performs table editing processing.

In this subroutine, first, as shown in FIG. 13, table editing function selection matrix 2o1. The operation guide 202 is displayed (320, 321).

'Key 106. '1' key 101. '2' key 102. It corresponds to the '3' key 103, and when these keys are input, the corresponding function is called. for example,
When the '6'' key 106 is pressed, a spreadsheet function is called, and when the '7' key 107 is pressed, a table creation function is called.

Next, a key force is performed (323).

For example, if the input key is 106, the subroutine CALC is called and a spreadsheet function is performed (323
, 324). If the input key is 1 end' key 116, the table editing process is ended (325).

A flowchart of the subroutine CALC for executing the spreadsheet function is shown in FIG.

In this subroutine, first, the subroutine FUNCT
ION is called to select the function to be calculated and specify the first point to be calculated (3241).

Next, call subroutine 0BJECT and
Specify the point and the calculation direction (3242).

After specifying the calculation target, subroutine 5TORE is called and the storage location of the calculation result is specified (3243). Call the subroutine REPEAT and specify the calculation repeat range (3
244).

Based on these specification results, subroutine D is executed.

is called and calculation is performed (3245).

The flowchart of the subroutine FUNCTIO for selecting the function to be calculated and specifying the first point to be calculated is shown in the fifth figure.

First, as shown in FIG. 14, the function option matrix 203 and the operation guide 204 are displayed (40, 41), and the keys are manually operated (42).

After pressing the key, in order to set the current position of the cursor 205 as the first point to be calculated, store the line position of the cursor in the variable FLINE and the digit position of the cursor in FCLMN (
43).

Next, the input key is determined.

The input key is '1' key 101. '2' Key 102゜'
4' key 104. '5' key 105. '7' key 1
07. '8' key 108. '9' key 10
If it is 9, the function corresponding to the selection matrix is selected, so the variable F\KIN is set to remember the selected function.
Store the value of the key entered in D. Furthermore, the numerical data at the first specified position is displayed in black and white inverted 44), and the processing of this subroutine is ended.

Numerical data is recognized as a string of consecutive numbers starting from the specified position, separated by non-numeric characters such as spaces, and lines.

The input key is a key related to the cursor, '←' key 112,
'↓' key 113. '→' key 114゜'↑' key 115 moves the cursor one digit to the left and one digit down
Row, move one column to the right and one line up (45). By inputting the cursor movement key, the first point to be calculated is positioned.

If the input key is a key other than function selection, perform the keystroke again.

゜'9' key 109 specifies the second point, so
Processing for determining the calculation direction and processing for specifying the calculation target are performed (54, 55, 56), and the processing of this subroutine ends.

The calculation direction is determined by comparing the line positions of the specified positions of the first and second points and the variables FLINE and LLIME, and if the line positions are the same, the calculation direction is horizontal, and if they are different, the calculation direction is vertical. At this time, store '1' in the variable DIRECTION for the horizontal direction, and store 10' in the variable DIRECTION for the vertical direction (55).
.

In the process of specifying the calculation target, the variable F\ that identifies the function
Compare whether KIND exceeds 3, and if it does,
If the function is addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or ratio, the numerical data at the position of the first point and the numerical data at the position of the second point are calculated, so the numerical data at the position specified at the second point is inverted in black and white. indicate. If it does not exceed 3, if the function is a sum or an average, the calculation direction is DIRECTIO because the calculation is for numerical data in the range from the first point to the second point.
By N, numerical data in this range is displayed in black and white inverted in the row direction or digit direction (56).

The input key is the key related to cursor movement, ゛←′ key 1
12. '↓' key 113. '→'key 114゜'↑
'key 115, move the cursor one digit to the left,

If the 9' key 109 is used, the end point position of the calculation repetition range is specified, so the end point position is displayed in black and white inverted 74), and the processing of this subroutine is ended.

If the input key is the 'execute' key 117, the calculation is not repeated, so the variable RLI indicating the end point position of the repeat range is
The same value as the storage position of the calculation result (the starting point position of the calculation repetition range) is stored in NE and RCLMN according to the calculation direction (7E5), and the processing of this subroutine is ended.

The input key is the key related to cursor movement, ゛←′ key 1
12. '↓' key 113. '→2 keys 114゜'↑
'key 115, move the cursor one digit to the left,

For example, if F\KIND is '9', in the case of addition,
Call subroutine ADD and perform addition processing on the specified calculation target. If F\KIND is '1',
In the case of a sum, subroutine SUM is called and the sum is processed for the specified calculation target.

If the input key is other than the ``execute'' key 117, press the key again.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of a subroutine ADD that performs addition processing on a specified calculation target.

In this subroutine, it is determined whether the calculation direction is the horizontal direction (row direction) or the vertical direction (column direction) (8'30).

Next, cut out the numerical data according to the calculation direction, specified calculation target, storage location of calculation results, and repetition range.
Addition calculations are performed (831, 832).

FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of a subroutine SUM that performs summation processing for specified calculation targets.

In this subroutine, it is determined whether the calculation direction is the horizontal direction (row direction) or the vertical direction (column direction) (833).

Next, cut out the numerical data according to the calculation direction, specified calculation target, storage location of calculation results, and repetition range.
