HP HP-28S - Operations, Commands, and Functions

Operations, Commands,
and Functions
17
Each procedure built into the HP-28S can be classified as an opera-
tion, a command, a function, or
an analytic function.
• An
operation is any procedure built into the calculator.
• A
command is a programmable operation.
• A
function is a command allowed in algebraics.
• An
analytic function is a function for which the HP-28S provides a
derivative
and inverse.
Built-in procedures are usually characterized
by their highest capabil-
ity. For example, SWAP and IP are both commands, but we
characterize SWAP as a
command and IP as a function. The following
table
shows examples of each type.
