<<TOC>>

[gold] Here is some eTCL starter  code for Sumerian approximate area of quadrilateral. 
 
This approximate method for quadrilateral area was multipling the averages of opposite sides,  area =~  ((s1+s3)*.5)*((s2+s4)*.5). This method or formula was apparently used in some math problems, brother inheritance problems,  and court inheritance problems. This formula is not exact for area, but the issue here is to obtain the equivalent numbers in the ancient texts. Some of the brother inheritance problems called for equal inheritance for some number of brothers, area / N1. Other brother inheritance problems called for proportional schemes.

***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).

*** 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 " &| volume| $volume| cubic meters |based on length $side1 and width $side2   |&"

*** 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   |&"
