Doing Arithmetic

The “v ” in the margin is a reminder that the example keystrokes are for ALG mode.

This is a brief introduction to doing arithmetic. More information on arithmetic is in chapter 2. Remember that you can erase errors by pressing <or C.

To calculate 21.1 ＋ 23.8:

Keys:Display:Description:

21.1+ $#&#()"

23.8$#&#()$%&*"

=

++&,("

=completes calculation.

Once a calculation has been completed, pressing another digit key starts a new calculation. On the other hand, pressing an operator key continues the calculation:

77.35 -	--&%./"	Calculates 77.35	– 90.89
90.89 =	/#%&.+"
65 @v*12	"	New calculation:
=	,'&-."	65 x 12.
/3.5 =	$-&'+"	Calculates 96.75	÷ 3.5.

You can also do long calculations without pressing = after each intermediate calculation—just press it at the end. The operators perform from left to right, in the order you enter them. Compare:

		65 + 12		and	65 +	12
	3.5
					3.5
65 +12 /	"				Operations occur in the
3.5 =	$$&(("				order you see them.
