The Program menu displays a list of the ten programs that are in the calculator. Use the >

and <keys to scroll through the program menu. For each program, the number displayed

at the bottom is the memory space used/occupied by the program and a checksum value of that program. For example, program 0 for the sphere uses 13 bytes and has a checksum of 104 (see Figure 2).
