Would this count as a routine?

This saves high scores with initials.

L₁ has a dimension of {0,0,0,0,0}
If user score is greater then the minimum of L₁
Initials are in Str0. Initials are "BHZ"
Score is 50

If S>L₁(5:Then
S:For(X,1,3
Ans+inString("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",sub(Str0,X,1))/50^X
End:Ans->L₁(6
SortD(L₁
5->dim(L₁
End

Displays scores

Disp "High Scores:
For(Y,1,5
L₁(Y
Output(Y+1,1,int(Ans
For(X,0,2
Output(Y+1,X+5,sub("-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",1+int(50fPart(Ans50^X)),1
End:End

Output is 50.043408,0,0,0,0

While it may be a useful snippet of code, I don't think it really counts as a routine. If you look at the routines page, most of the routines are either transient or transformative. This means they either return information about a specific thing (like if Ans is a number or a list, the mode of a list, the day of the week, etc.), or do something to transform the data such as converting a number to a string, scrambling the string, or shading an ellipse.

To me this seems more of something that could be useful for some people, but unless you are coding a game isn't very useful. It doesn't transform the data in the same way routines usually do, and it doesn't really provide information about the data other than the data itself.
