The
HP-16C
has
three
user
flags
(0,
1,
and
2),
which
can
be
used
to
control
program
execution,
and
three
system
flags
(3,
4,
and
5),
which
are
used
to
indicate
system
status.
The
use
of
flags
in
programming
is
discussed
in
section
9,
Program
Branching
and
Controls.
Flags
3,
4,
and
5
are
simply
status
indicators
and
have
no
effect
on
calculator
operation
(unless
you
choose
to
use
them
to
control
program
execution):
¢
Flag
3
controls
the
display
of
leading
zeros.
When
it
is
set,
zeros
to
the
left
of
the
highest
nonzero
digit
are
displayed.
When
it
is
clear
(the
default
condition),
the
display
of
leading
zeros
1s
suppressed.
(Note
that
leading
zeros
are
always
suppressed
in
Decimal
and
Floating-Point
Decimal
modes.)
¢
Flag
4
is
set
(and
the
C
annunciator
appears)
when
a
carry
has
occurred.
e
Flag
5
is
set
(and
the
G
annunciator
appears)
when
the
returned
value
is
out-of-range
(Greater
than
the
largest
representable
number
or
not
representable
in
the current
mode).
Section
4
includes a
discussion
of
how
the
carry
condition
and

are
generated.
