Special Functions

kAnswer Function

The Answer Function automatically stores the last result you calculated by pressing w (unless the w key operation results in an error). The result is stored in the answer memory.

uTo use the contents of the answer memory in a calculationExample 123 + 456 = 579 789 – 579 = 210Abcd+efgw hij-!-(Ans)w

In the Math input mode, the answer memory is refreshed with each calculation. Note, however, that the answer memory content recall operation is different from that used in the Linear input mode. For details, see “History Function” (page 2-2-6).

kPerforming Continuous Calculations

Answer memory also lets you use the result of one calculation as one of the arguments in the next calculation.

Example	1	⎟ 3	=
	1	⎟ 3	⋅ 3 =

Ab/dw(Continuing)*dw

Continuous calculations can also be used with Type B functions (x2, x–1, x!, page 2-1-4), +, –, ^(xy), x', ° ’ ”, etc.

#The largest value that the answer memory can hold is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits for the exponent.

#Only numeric values and calculation results can be stored in answer memory.

#Answer memory contents are not cleared when you press the A key or when you switch power off.

#When “Linear” is selected as the Input Mode, answer memory contents are not changed by an operation that assigns values to Alpha memory (such as: faav(A)w).
