10 Getting Started with the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition
Displaying Entries and Answers
• When text is displayed, the TI-84 Plus C screen can display a
maximum of 10 lines with a maximum of 26 characters per line in
Classic mode. In MathPrint™ mode, fewer lines and fewer characters
per line may be displayed, depending on the MathPrint™ template
used.
• A dotted line separates each set of entries and answers.
• If an expression on the home screen, the Y= editor (Chapter 3 in the
guidebook), or the program editor (Chapter 16 in the guidebook) is
longer than one line, it wraps to the beginning of the next line in
Classic mode. In MathPrint™ mode, an expression on the home
screen or Y= editor that is longer than one line scrolls off the screen
to the right. An arrow on the right side of the screen indicates that
you can scroll right to see more of the expression. In numeric editors
such as the window screen (Chapter 3), a long expression scrolls to
the right and left in both Classic and MathPrint™ modes.
Tip: Press y ~ to move the cursor to the end of the line. Press y |
to move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
• When an entry is executed on the home screen, the answer is
displayed on the right side of the next line.
• The mode settings control the way the TI-84 Plus C interprets
expressions and displays answers.
• Press z to switch between Classic and MathPrint™ modes and see
expressions in both formats. The Classic and MathPrint™ modes are
on the top line of the mode screen.
• If an answer, such as a list or matrix, is too long to display entirely on
one line, an arrow (MathPrint™) or an ellipsis (Classic) is displayed to
the right or left. Press ~ and | to display the answer.
