Before a variable name, constant, or random number: 20 A, 2 π, etc.

AFinal Closed Parenthesis

ADisplaying a Long Expression

The display can show up to 14 characters at a time. Inputting the 15th character causes the expression to shift to the left. At this time, the ]indicator appears to the left of the expression, indicating that it runs off the left side of the screen.

Input expression: 1111 + 2222 + 3333 + 444

Displayed portion:

Cursor

When the ] indicator is displayed, you can scroll left and view the hidden part by pressing the d key. This will cause the ' indicator to appear to the right of the expression. At this time, you can use the ekey to scroll back.

ANumber of Input Characters (Bytes)

You can input up to 99 bytes of data for a single expression. Basically, each key operation uses up one byte. A function that requires two key operations to input (like 11(sin)) also uses only one byte.
