Testcases Section

In planning any software, it is advisable to gather a number of testcases to check the results of the program. The math for the testcases can be checked by pasting statements in the TCL console. Aside from the TCL calculator display, when one presses the report button on the calculator, one will have console show access to the capacity functions (subroutines).

Testcase 1 , !st right sided trapezoid

The

Testcase 2 , d

Testcase 3 , B

The following scenari

Testcase 4 ,

Testcase 5 ,

The following scenario was used for the _th testcase.

Testcase 6 , e

The following scenario was used for the 6th testcase. There is Astrology software available to derive some testcases from modern numbers. It turns out that the year 2020 offers an interesting retrograde of Jupiter in astrology.

Table, Math Terms Associated with Babylonian Trapezoids

Table , Math Terms Associated with Babylonian Trapezoids printed in tcl formatmodern equivalent, English comment if any
sag ki.gu : side earth trapezoid
sag ki.ta : side earth its , possessive case upper front of the trapezoid
sag an.na :side upper upper front of the trapezoid
us gi.na : length front true length of the trapezoid
sag gi.na : side front true front of trapezoid
N1 kus i-ku-lu : N1 cubit in eats it (it or man), read left to right feed parameter of the trapezoid noun derived from Sumerian SOV phrase
sag du : side triangle
N1 arakarum : N1 multiply transformation coefficient, usually scale up

Pushbutton Operation

For the push buttons, the recommended procedure is push testcase and fill frame, change first three entries etc, push solve, and then push report. Report allows copy and paste from console.

For testcases in a computer session, the eTCL calculator increments a new testcase number internally, eg. TC(1), TC(2) , TC(3) , TC(N). The testcase number is internal to the calculator and will not be printed until the report button is pushed for the current result numbers. The current result numbers will be cleared on the next solve button. The command { calculate; reportx } or { calculate ; reportx; clearx } can be added or changed to report automatically. Another wrinkle would be to print out the current text, delimiters, and numbers in a TCL wiki style table as

  puts " %| testcase $testcase_number | value| units |comment |%"
  puts " &| volume| $volume| cubic meters |based on length $side1 and width $side2   |&"

Console program under test.
