System Requirements
One+One requires Palm OS 3.0 or higher, and 184K of RAM.
One+One works on any handheld device that is running Palm OS 3.0 or higher including all devices from Palm, Inc. (Zire, Tungsten, Treo, and LifeDrive) as well as the Handspring Visors, the Sony CLIE, the HandEra, and the IBM Workpad. One+One has been enhanced to take advantage of the high resolution screens.
Installation
To install One+One simply unzip the archive you downloaded and use the install tool (or equivalent) to install One+One.prc on your Palm device. You might also consider assigning the calculator button to bring up One+One instead of the default calculator after syncing. To do this, go to the Prefs application, select Personal, and then Buttons. Select One+One from the list next to the button you wish to reassign.
To uninstall One+One, simply delete One+One via the Palm applications screen.
Registration
One+One features a free 15 day trial. All the features of One+One are available during the trial. The only difference between the trial and a registered version is that the registration screen no longer displays on startup. After the 15 day trial, the five key (5) becomes disabled. If you decide that you like One+One, purchase a registration code to unlock it.
To unlock One+One you need a registration code. A registration code can be obtained by purchasing One+One from Creative Creek, LLC. You must provide the user name shown in the registration screen to obtain a valid code. The code will be e-mailed to you.
To register your software, select the Display->Registration menu item to bring up the registration screen.
Use graffiti (or the popup keyboard) to enter the registration code you received in the mail into the field following "Reg. code:" and tap OK. If the code you typed in is accepted, the screen will disappear and the One+One keyboard will be displayed. If you make a mistake in entering in the code, a dialog will indicate that the code wasn't valid and you will be given a chance to edit the code. If you wish to dismiss this dialog without entering a registration code, simply remove all the characters from the Reg. code field and tap OK.
If for any reason you have trouble registering your software please contact us via the Contact page for assistance.
Basic Operations
One+One is an algebraic calculator with precedence. This means that operations in an expression like (1+2*3) One+One completes the highest precedence operation
before completing the lower precedence one
. In this case the answer is 7 and is computed as 1 + (2*3). All unary operations like
,
,
,
, etc. have the highest precedence and operate immediately on the value in the display. The binary operations have the following precedence
,

,
lowest precedence Parentheses
![]()
can be used to control the order of computation.
completes all operations. Up to 31 operations can be pending at one time. If you exceed this, One+One will produce an error (and clear all pending operations).
Most buttons on One+One can access three functions.
The function or number in the middle of each button is accessed without shifts. The function at the top of the button is accessed by pressing the 2nd-shift key
before pressing the button. The 2nd-shift indicator will light in the display when the 2nd-shift is active. Similarly to access the functions above the buttons use the 3rd-shift key
. The 3rd-shift indicator will light in the display when the 3rd-shift is active.
Most functions remember the last value used during a computation. This value can be accessed via the
button.

(main screen)
- Copy: Copy the current value of the x stack register to the clipboard.
- Paste: Interpret the text on the clipboard as a number and push it onto the stack as the x register value.
(main screen)
- Registers: Display the Registers and stack screen.
- Help: Display the built-in help screen.
- Preferences: Display the preferences screen.
- Registration: Display the registration screen.
- About One+One: Display information about One+One.
Preferences
The preference screen is displayed when you choose Display->Preferences from the menu or when you tap the degree indicator on the screen (see walkthrough above).
- Skin: Choose your desired color scheme from the list. Lists all loaded skins.
- Format: One+One can display results in either fixed, scientific, or engineering format.
- Fixed format displays results with a fixed number of decimal digits but will over- or underflow to scientific notation if the value is too big or too small.
- Scientific format displays all results in scientific notation with a fixed number of decimal digits. Numbers in scientific notation are displayed as
- which is interpreted as the number 1.234567890 x 1099.
- Engineering format is just like scientific format except that the exponent is always a multiple of three.
- Digits: Number of digits or All if you want all the significant digits to displayed. The number of digits displayed depends on the format. In scientific and fixed format, it is the number of digits after the decimal. In engineering format one more than the number chosen significant digits are displayed.
- Angles: Angle domain for trigonometric functions. The state of this preference is also indicated in the display.
- Payment: Financial annuity mode. Payments can be due at the beginning of the pay period (annuity due) or at the end of the period (ordinary annuity). The state of this preference is also indicated in the display.
- Binary bits: Number of bits to use for integer base functions like Hex, Oct, and Bin. Values larger than this number of bits will continue to be displayed. Execute an integer base function to truncate such integers to bring them into range.
- Accumulate sum xy: When selected, the statistic functions will accumulate the sum of x*y in register 9. Normally, you will want to leave this checked unless you have another use for register 9.
- Use case flow convention. When selected, the sign of PMT (payment) is consistent with a cash flow interpretation. Unselect this to revert to the behavior of One+One 1.x.
- Quiet buttons: When selected, button presses will no longer click when pressed. The sound from errors, alarms, or from other applications are unaffected.

On the Treo, the keyboard is automatically option-locked into numeric mode. Letters like 'e' that share space with the numbers can be accessed by pressing option before pressing the key. After each press, the keyboard will automatically return to numeric mode.
When in hex mode, the keyboard is automatically locked into alpha mode in order to make entering A-F easier. To enter numbers, press option before each number or use the One+One keypad.
On devices with the 5-Way navigation button, the 5-way can be used to highlight and select the buttons on the keypad.
One+One honors the number format chosen in the Prefs application. If you find that One+One is displaying numbers using the wrong decimal or thousands separator, go to the Prefs application and choose Formats from the popup menu. Choose the number format for your locale from the Numbers: popup.
For number formats that use the comma as the decimal separator, One+One displays
instead of
for the decimal button. Changing the number format affects the way values are displayed, copied, and interpreted during a paste.
Register Functions
One+One has 20 registers -- 10 primary registers and 10 secondary registers. Only the primary registers are accessible directly from the keyboard. The secondary registers are used to store values used for the financial and statistical functions. To access these registers, swap the primary and secondary registers via
and then access the values now accessible via
and
. Use
to swap the registers back to their original configuration when done. The secondary registers can be used to store your own values but you must be careful not to use any financial or statistical functions if you do so.

Displaying the registers is an easy way to see the values of the financial registers. Note that the interest (i) is displayed as fractional interest and not in percent as it is when you compute it using the
button.
Scientific Functions
Unary Functions
These functions operate on the value in the x register and replace it with the function result.
The trigonometric functions are sensitive to the angle mode: degrees, radians, or grads (
,
, or
in the display where 360 degrees = 2 pi radians = 400 grads).
- When in degree mode, inputs to
,
, and
are assumed to be in degrees and the results from
,
, and
are in degrees.
- When in radian mode, the inputs and outputs are assumed to be in radians.
- When in grads mode, the inputs and outputs are assumed to be in grads.
Set the angle mode using the Preferences dialog (available from the Display menu).

int
andfrac
functions round to 9 decimal digits before determining the integer and fractional parts. Under this definitionfrac
is computed using the formulafrac(x) = x - int(x)Most of the time this produces the desired results but does treat the input as if it only had 10 digits of accuracy. One of the ramifications of this is that the fractional part doesn't always have the same sign as x. Take for example the number 1.99999999964 (i.e. 2 - 36e-11). When displayed in One+One this number looks like it is 2.0. Because of the rounding int(x) is 2 (as expected) while frac(x) is -36e-10.
The ceil, round, and floor functions do not do this rounding and may be more appropriate to use if you need to take advantage of all 16 digits of accuracy that One+One maintains.
Trigonometric Functions
The trigonometric functions are sensitive to the angle mode: degrees, radians, or grads (deg, rad, or grd in the display where 360 degrees = 2 pi radians = 400 grads).
- When in degree mode, inputs to sin, cos, and tan are assumed to be in degrees and the results from sin-1, cos-1, and tan-1 are in degrees.
- When in radian mode, the inputs and outputs are assumed to be in radians.
- When in grads mode, the inputs and outputs are assumed to be in grads.
Set the angle mode using the Preferences dialog (available from the Display menu) or via the angle function. Except for atan2, these functions operate on the value in the x register and replace it with the function result (f(x)).

3.00 Time Functions
One+One has three time functions
- seconds: The current number of seconds since January 1, 1904.
- H.MS: Converts value from fractional hours to H.MS format. In H.MS format, the integer part of the value is the number of hours while the fractional part is broken into two fields: M, the minutes, and S, the seconds. Each field comprises two digits of the fraction. For example, the number 2.03165 is interpreted as 2 hours, 3 minutes, 16.5 seconds or 2°3'16.5" using standard degrees, minutes, seconds notation. Thus, the H.MS interpretation is also valid for D.MS as well. When using the H.MS and hours functions is usually helpful to set the number of digits displayed to be 4 or greater.
- hours: Converts value from H.MS format to fractional hours. Digits after the fourth fractional digit are interpreted as fractions of a second.
Polar Coordinates
One+One provides two functions to convert back and forth between Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates and polar coordinates. The relationship between polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates is defined by the following picture and formula
x = R cos(theta)
y = R sin(theta)
R = sqrt(x2 + y2)
theta = atan2(y,x)
Key Function Description R->P Convert from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates P->R Convert from polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates Use the
function to view the results and the
function to separate the values during entry. For example, to convert the polar value R = 5, theta = 30 degrees to cartesian coordinates enter (making sure the calculator is in
mode):
30
5
To view the results (x = 4.33, y = 2.5) use the
key.
Number Base Functions
One+One can display and compute with numbers in hexadecimal (base 16), octal (base 8), and binary (base 2) format as well as the default decimal (base 10) format. Non-decimal values are displayed with a subscript following them indicating the number base.
hexadecimal display octal display binary display The functions
,
,
, and
convert values between bases and set the number base for further calculations and input. Use any combination of the numeric buttons and Graffiti to input non-decimal numbers. You must use graffiti to input the hexadecimal characters A through F since no buttons exist on the calculator for them.

Range: Integers between 0 and 236-1 Convert x register to binary number base. Range: Integers between 0 and 212-1 Convert x register to decimal number base.

Values outside the range of each number base are wrapped (that is, the excess most significant bits are dropped) and are converted to an integer. The AND, OR and XOR functions are in the f(x) pop-up list.Modular Functions
A few functions behave differently when a non-decimal number base is chosen:
Two's complement. Replace x register with its two's complement (all bits inverted and 1 added) Modular addition. Same as regular addition except that results that exceed the range of the calculator are wrapped. Modular subtraction. Same as regular subtraction except that negative results are returned as two's complement numbers. Modular multiplication. Same as regular multiplication except that results that exceed the range of the calculator are wrapped. Modular division. Same as regular division except that results that exceed the range of the calculator are wrapped and any fractional remainder is discarded. The other functions on the calculator can be applied to non-decimal numbers. However, if the result is not an integer that is in range, an error is displayed and the number base reverts to decimal. The value in the x register will be the result of the computation. Simply reapply the conversion routine to wrap and truncate the value to be in range.
Financial Functions
The financial functions are governed by the equation,
PV*(1+i)N + PMT/i*((1+i)N-1) + FV = 0
This equation is used when the annuity mode (BEGIN/END preference) is set to ordinary annuity (payments due at the end of the period
). When the annuity mode is annuity due (payments due at the beginning of the period
) then PMT in this equation is modified to be PMT * (1 + i).
The financial functions have two modes: input mode and calculation mode. One+One is in input mode if a number has been keyed into the calculator or any non-financial functions have been executed. Executing one of the main financial functions (
,
,
,
, or
) stores the result of any pending operations (as if you had pressed
) in the associated financial register. One+One is in calculation mode after any financial functions have been executed or when there is a pending binary operation. The result of a financial computation is placed into the display.
Most of the time this should behave as you would expect. However, if for some reason One+One stores a value when you intended to compute one, simply execute the financial function again to obtain the desired result.
Number of periods Input mode: Store displayed value as N. Calculation mode: Compute N.
Interest rate per period Input mode: Store displayed value as i (in percent). Calculation mode: Solve for i. If the solver doesn't converge an error '-e-' will be displayed.
Payment per period Input mode: Store displayed value as PMT. Calculation mode: Compute PMT.
Present value Input mode: Store displayed value as PV. Calculation mode: Compute PV.
Future value (or balloon) Input mode: Store displayed value as FV. Calculation mode: Compute FV.
Toggle between beginning of payment period (annuity due) and end of payment period
(ordinary annuity)
Clear financial registers and set payment period to the end (ordinary annuity). The sign of PMT and FV is dependent on the state of the cash flow convention preference. When you are not using the cash flow convention, the label for PMT and FV are followed by an asterisk: PMT*, FV*.
Cash Flow Convention
Financial problems can be thought of as a series of cash flows. For example a mortgage consists of a large positive cash flow (the loan amount) followed by a series of monthly negative cash flows (the payments) with possibly a final negative cash flow at the end (the balloon payment). The diagram below illustrates this situation.
Positive cash flows (amounts you receive) are shown as upward pointing arrows. Negative cash flows (amounts you pay) are shown as downward pointing arrows. The horizontal axis of the diagram is time, with time increasing to the right. The time between the equally spaced payments is called the period.
For the problem to be solvable with One+One, there must be at least one cash flow in each direction. It is always possible to add a present value or future value cash flow to meet this requirement. Think about your problem to determine which is more appropriate (see example 4 below).
Example 1: Suppose you are interested in determining the payment for a car loan of $18,500 at 7.25% interest for 5 years. The key strokes to solve this problem using One+One are
to reset the financial registers (since the values in the registers are maintained between sessions with One+One it is a good idea to reset the financial registers before each use of the financial functions).

Example 4: To compute the effective interest rate in an IRA account that you put $2000 into each year, you will need to enter the current value of the account as a positive future value (FV) even though you haven't sold the assets in the account. To make the example concrete, suppose that you started your IRA in 1985 with a $10,000 rollover and that the value in the account is $80,000 in the year 2001.

Statistical Functions
The statistical functions accumulate sums based on the values in the x and y registers. These sums are used to compute the mean
and standard deviation
or can be accessed directly via
and
. Use
to reset all the statistical registers to zero before accumulating sums. If you make a mistake keying in the x,y values and after pressing
, re-key the errant values and press
to remove them from the sums. The mean and standard deviation are computed as
with similar equations holding for the y component as well.
To do one dimensional statistics, type in the x values followed by the accumulate key
. After you have keyed in all the values, computing the mean via
or standard deviation
will update the display with the result.
To do two dimensional statistics, type y
x and then the accumulate key
. One+One will compute the mean and standard deviation for both x and y when you press
or
. To view the statistical result for the y values, use
to swap the values in the display.
