: (Multi-statement Command)

Function: Connects two statements for sequential execution without stopping.

Description:

•Unlike the output command (^), statements connected with the multi-statement command are executed non-stop.

•The multi-statement command can be used to link two calculation expressions or two commands.

•You can also use a carriage return indicated by _ in place of the multi-statement command.

(Carriage Return)

Function: Connects two statements for sequential execution without stopping.

Description:

•Operation of the carriage return is identical to that of the multi-statement command.

•You can create a blank line in a program by inputting a carriage return only. Using a carriage return in place of the multi-statement command makes the displayed program easier to read.

Function: Indicates comment text inserted inside a program.

Description: Anything following the apostrophe is treated as non-executable comment text.
