**Sumerian Workday Time & Account Calculator with demo examples eTCL numerical analysis** This page is under development. Comments are welcome, but please load any comments in the comments section at the bottom of the page. Please include your wiki MONIKER in your comment with the same courtesy that I will give you. Its very hard to reply intelligibly without some background of the correspondent. Thanks,[gold] ---- <> [gold] Here is some eTCL starter code for calculating workdays and accounting outlays from Sumerian texts. The impetus for these calculations was checking workday accounts, free time, and credits in some cuneiform texts and modern replicas. Most of the testcases involve replicas or models, using assumptions and rules of thumb. *** Ratios and prices *** *** Pseudocode and Equations *** ====== Sumerian price in silver = [/ liters 300.] Sumerian price in liters grain = [* silver 300.] # 1 silver piece = 1 gur = 300 liters of grain liters = [* volume_in_cubic_cm .001] price? = raw materials + labor + profit price? = raw materials + heat process price? = raw materials + labor average price per unit = revenue / units sold ====== *** Table 1 , Prices*** ---- *** Table 2 , Prices*** ---- *** Table 3 , Prices *** ***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 **** %|table 1|printed in| tcl wiki format|% &| quantity| value| comment, if any|& &| testcase number:| | 1|& &| 3.5 :|men (guru)| 3.5 |& &| 0.0 :|women (geme)| 0.0|& &| 0.0 :|working children (dumu)|0.0|& &| 0.0 :| old workers (sugi) |0.0 |& &| 30.0 :| days time period|30.0 |& &| 105.0 :| workdays on books|105.0 |& &| 210.0 :| rations (liters) |210.0 |& &| 0.700 :| silver pieces|0.700 |& ---- %|table 2|printed in| tcl wiki format|% &| quantity| value| comment, if any|& &| testcase number:| | 2|& &| 0.0 :|men (guru)| 0.0 |& &| 10.0 :|women (geme)| 10.0|& &| 0.0 :|working children (dumu)|0.0|& &| 0.0 :| old workers (sugi) |0.0 |& &| 30.0 :| days time period|30.0 |& &| 300.0 :| workdays on books|300.0 |& &| 600.0 :| rations (liters) |600.0 |& &| 2.0 :| silver pieces|2.0 |& ---- %|table 3|printed in| tcl wiki format|% &| quantity| value| comment, if any|& &| testcase number:| | 3|& &| 0.0 :|men (guru)| 0.0 |& &| 0.0 :|women (geme)| 0.0|& &| 5.0 :|working children (dumu)|5.0|& &| 0.0 :| old workers (sugi) |0.0 |& &| 30.0 :| days time period|30.0 |& &| 45.0 :| workdays on books|45.0 |& &| 90.0 :| rations (liters) |90.0 |& &| 0.30 :| silver pieces|0.300 |& ---- ---- **** Testcase 2 **** ---- **** Testcase 3 **** ---- ***Screenshots Section*** ****figure 1.**** [http://s1.postimg.org/7nrwm5lnz/sumerian_bronze_calculator_TCL_WIKI_2.png] ---- ***References:*** * Robert Englund, UCLA [https://cdli.ucla.edu/staff/englund/publications/englund2012a.pdf] * Ur III Tablets in the Valdosta State University, search on cdli * Cuneiform Digital Library Journal, search on Equivalency Values * Ur III Equivalency Values[http://cdli.ox.ac.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=ur_iii_equivalency_values] * Especially, the Ur III Equivalency Values and library texts for workday (u4) keyword. * The Sumerian keywords search on the cdli * are very effective, but major size files to download ---- **Appendix Code** ***appendix TCL programs and scripts *** ====== # pretty print from autoindent and ased editor # Sumerian time & accounting calculator # written on Windows XP on eTCL # working under TCL version 8.5.6 and eTCL 1.0.1 # gold on TCL WIKI, 15sep2014 package require Tk namespace path {::tcl::mathop ::tcl::mathfunc} frame .frame -relief flat -bg aquamarine4 pack .frame -side top -fill y -anchor center set names {{} {men (guru):} } lappend names {women (geme):} lappend names {children working (dumu): } lappend names {old (sugi) or disabled:} lappend names {accounting period days (typical 30 days) :} lappend names {workdays on books : } lappend names {grain rations (liters) : } lappend names {value in silver :} foreach i {1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8} { label .frame.label$i -text [lindex $names $i] -anchor e entry .frame.entry$i -width 35 -textvariable side$i grid .frame.label$i .frame.entry$i -sticky ew -pady 2 -padx 1 } proc about {} { set msg "Calculator for Sumerian Time & Accounting from TCL WIKI, written on eTCL " tk_messageBox -title "About" -message $msg } proc calculate { } { global answer2 global side1 side2 side3 side4 side5 global side6 side7 side8 global testcase_number incr testcase_number set side1 [* $side1 1. ] set side2 [* $side2 1. ] set side3 [* $side3 1. ] set side4 [* $side4 1. ] set side5 [* $side5 1. ] set total1 [* $side1 $side5 1. ] set total1 [+ $total1 [* $side2 $side5 1.] ] set total1 [+ $total1 [* $side3 $side5 .3] ] set total1 [+ $total1 [* $side4 $side5 .5] ] set side6 $total1 set side7 [* $side6 2. ] set side8 [* $side7 [/ 1. 300.] ] } proc fillup {aa bb cc dd ee ff gg hh} { .frame.entry1 insert 0 "$aa" .frame.entry2 insert 0 "$bb" .frame.entry3 insert 0 "$cc" .frame.entry4 insert 0 "$dd" .frame.entry5 insert 0 "$ee" .frame.entry6 insert 0 "$ff" .frame.entry7 insert 0 "$gg" .frame.entry8 insert 0 "$hh" } proc clearx {} { foreach i {1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 } { .frame.entry$i delete 0 end } } proc reportx {} { global side1 side2 side3 side4 side5 global side6 side7 side8 global testcase_number console show;

"Sumerian Time & Accounting Calculator " ====== ---- *** 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 |&" ====== ---- [gold] This page is copyrighted under the TCL/TK license terms, [http://tcl.tk/software/tcltk/license.html%|%this license]. **Comments Section** <> Please place any comments here, Thanks. <> Numerical Analysis | Toys | Calculator | Mathematics| Example
