This base-60 entry format lets you:
•
Enter an angle in degrees/minutes/seconds
without regard to the current angle mode.
•
Enter time as hours/minutes/seconds.

unit
Designates the units for an
expression
. All unit
names must begin with an underscore.
You can use pre-defined units or create your own
units. For a list of pre-defined units, refer to the
module about constants and measurement units.
You can press:

to select units from a menu, or you can type the
unit names directly.

variable
_
When
variable
has no value, it is treated as
though it represents a complex number. By
default, without the _
, the variable is treated as
real.
If
variable
has a value, the _ is ignored and
variable
retains its original data type.
Note: You can store a complex number to a
variable without using _
. However, for best
results in calculations such as
cSolve()
and
cZeros()
, the _ is recommended.
Assuming z is undefined:
real(z) ¸ z
real(z_) ¸ real(z_)
imag(z) ¸ 0
imag(z_) ¸ imag(z_)
