k Answer Function
The unit’s Answer Function automatically stores the last result you calculated by
pressing w(unless the w key operation results in an error). The result is stored
in the answer memory.

uTo use the contents of the answer memory in a calculation
Example 123 + 456 = 579
789 – 579 = 210

• The largest value that the answer memory can hold is one with 15 digits for the
mantissa and 2 digits for the exponent.
•Answer memory contents are not cleared when you press the A key or when
you switch power off.
•Note that answer memory contents are not changed by an operation that
assigns values to value memory (such as: faaAw).

k Performing Continuous Calculations
The unit lets you use the result of one calculation as one of the arguments in the
next calculation. To do so, use the result of the previous calculation, which is
currently stored in Answer Memory.
Example 1 " 3 =
1 " 3 ! 3 =
Ab/dw
(Continuing)*dw
Continuous calculations can also be used with Type A functions (x
