Numbers in program lines are stored as precisely as you entered them, and they're
displayed using ALL or SCI format. (If a long number is shortened in the display,
press
º
Î
to view all digits.)
To enter an equation in a program line:
1. Press
º
d
to activate Equation–entry mode, The EQN annunciator
turns on.
2. Enter the equation as you would in the equation list. See chapter 6 for details.
Use
~
to correct errors as you type.
3. Press
Ï
to terminate the equation and display its left end. (The equation
does not become part of the equation list.)
After you've entered an equation, you can press
º
Î
to see its checksum
and length. Hold the
Î
key to keep the values in the display.
For a long equation, the
and
annunciators show that scrolling is active for
this program line. You can use
Õ
and
Ö
to scroll the display.
Keys That Clear
Note these special conditions during program entry:
Å
always cancels program entry. It never clears a number to zero.
If the program line doesn't contain an equation,
~
deletes the current
program line. It backspaces if a digit is being entered ("_" cursor present).
If the program line contains an equation,
~
begins editing the equation. It
deletes the rightmost function or variable if an equation is being entered ("
"
cursor present).
¹
¡
{
} deletes a program line if it contains an equation.
To program a function to clear the X–register, use
¹
¡
{
}.
Function Names in Programs
The name of a function that is used in a program line is not necessarily the same as
the function's name on its key, in its menu, or in an equation. The name that is used
in a program is usually a fuller abbreviation than that which can fit on a key or in
a menu. This fuller name appears briefly in the display whenever you execute a
function — as long as you hold down the key, the name is displayed.
