Programming
With
BASE
You
can program instructions to change the base mode using
Hi base |. Thesesettings work in programs just as they do as functions
used from the keyboard. This allows you to write programs that ac
cept
numbers
in any of the four
bases,
do
arithmetic
in any
base,
and
display results in any base.
When writing programs that use numbers in a base other than 10, set
the base mode both as the
current
setting
for the calculator
and
in the
program
(as an instruction).
Selecting
a
Base
Mode
in
a
Program
Insert a BIN, OCT, or HEX instruction into the beginning of the pro
gram.
You
should usually include a
DEC
instruction at the end of the
program so that the calculator's setting will revert to
Decimal
mode
when the program is done.
An instruction in a program to change the base mode will determine
how input is interpreted and how output looks
during
and
after
pro
gram
execution,
but it does not affect the program lines as you enter
them.
The
SOLVE
and
/FN
operations automatically set DEC mode.
Numbers
Entered
in
Program
Lines
Before starting program entry, set the base mode. The current setting
for
the
base
mode
determines
the
base
of
the
numbers
that
are
en
tered into programlines. The display of these numbers changeswhen
you change the base mode.
