Texas Instruments TI-55-III
Does it look familiar? Other than some minor cosmetic changes, I really see no difference between this calculator and the Texas Instruments TI-55-II. Oh, well, one of them was made in Taiwan, the other in the USA, but then what? (Interestingly, the one made in Taiwan is the one with a better keyboard.)
Functionally, the two calculators are identical. Like the TI-55-II, the TI-55-III is an "almost programmable"; it has capacity to store up to 56 program steps, but no control transfer or conditional instructions are provided. Also, just like on the TI-55-II, loops are not possible even with the RST button, because it stops program execution (in contrast, on the TI-55 or TI-60, RST causes execution to continue at step 00, so simple loops are possible.)
Well, in the absence of anything more sophisticated, here it is again, a simple program that implements Stirling's formula that approximates the extended factorial:
