CALCULATIONS
Advanced Functions
• Your computer can also calculate higher-level
mathematical functions when you type in a BASIC
numeric function command and the number or
variable to be figured out, and press |
• Numeric function follow this form:
FUNCTION (X)
where the FUNCTION is the specific command and
X is the number or variable to be calculated.
Here are the BASIC functions you can use:
ABS (X) (absolute value)
ATN (X) (arctangent)
COS(X) (cosine)
EXP (X) (the mathematical constant e (2.71828183)
raised to the power of X)
INT (X) (integer of X, rounded down)
LOG(X) (logarithm)
—To convert to log base 10, divide by
LOG (10).
RND (X) (generate a random number)
SGN (X) (sign: positive, negative or zero)
SIN (X) (sine)
SQR (X) (square root)
TAN(X) (tangent)
