14-8 Programming Techniques
Example:
The "Normal and Inverse–Normal Distributions" program in chapter 16 uses the
x<y? conditional in routine T:
Line T009 calculates the correction for X
guess
. Line T013 compares the absolute
value of the calculated correction with 0.0001. If the value is less than 0.0001 ("Do
If True"), the program executes line T014; if the value is equal to or greater than
0.0001, the program skips to line T015.
