Filling the to with a Constant
The replicating effect of
Ï
together with the replicating effect of stack drop
(from T into Z) allows you to fill the stack with a numeric constant for calculations.
Example:
Given bacterial culture with a constant growth rate of 50%, how large would a
population of 100 be at the end 3 days
?

1. Fills the stack with the growth rate.
2. Keys in the initial population.

How CLEAR x Works
Clearing the display (X–register) puts a zero in the X–register. The next number you
key in (or recall) writes over this zero.
There are three ways to clear the contents of the X–register, that is, to clear x:
1. Press
Å
2. Press

3. Press

Note these exceptions:

cancels program entry.

During digit entry,
