Display Control
The HP 15c has three display formats—•, i, and ^—that use
a given number (0 through 9) to specify display format. The illustration
below shows how the number 123,456 would be displayed specified to
four places in each possible mode.
´ • 4 :
123,456.0000

Owing to Continuous Memory, any change you make in the display format
will be preserved until Continuous Memory is reset.
The current display format takes effect when digit entry is terminated;
until then, all digits you key in (up to 10) are displayed.
Fixed Decimal Display
• (fixed decimal) format displays a figure with the number of decimal
places you specify (up to nine, depending on the size of the integer
portion.) Exponents will be displayed if the number is too small or too
large for the display. At “power-up”, the HP 15c is in • 4 format. The
key sequence is ´ • n.
