kInputting a Constant (Value, Calculation Result, Number Sequence) into a Cell

A constant is something whose value is fixed as soon as you finalize its input. A constant can be either a numeric value, or a calculation formula (such as 7+3, sin30, A12, etc.) that does not have an equal sign (=) in front of it. Inputting sdaw, for example will cause the value 0.5 (the calculation result) to appear in the cell (when Deg is selected as the Angle unit).

uTo input a number sequence automatically based on a function expression

1. Move the cell cursor to the cell where you want number sequence input to start.

Under initial default settings, automatic input of the number sequence will proceed downwards from the start cell. You can specify a different direction using the “Move” setting as described on page 1-35.

2. Press 2(EDIT)5(SEQ) to display the Sequence screen, and then specify the function expression and values required to generate the required number sequence.

Item

 

 

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

Expr

Input the function expression f(x) for generating the number sequence.

 

Example: a+(X)x+bw (X2 + 1)

Var

Input the variable name used in the function expression input for Expr.

 

Example: a+(X)w (X)

 

 

 

 

 

Start

Input the starting value (X1) of the value to be substituted for the variable

 

specified by Var.

 

Example: cw

 

 

 

 

 

End

Input the ending value (Xn) of the value to be substituted for the variable

 

specified by Var.

 

Example: baw

 

 

 

 

 

Incre

Input the increment value (m) for successive value of X1, as in: (X2 = X1 + m),

 

(X3 = X2 + m), and so on. The number sequence is generated in the range of

 

X1 + (n – 1) m < Xn.

 

Example: cw
