Function Names in Programs

Then name of function that is used in a program line is not necessarily the same as the function's name on its key, in its menu, or in an equation. The name that is used in a program is usually a fuller abbreviation than that which can fit on a key or in a menu. This fuller name appears briefly in the display whenever you execute a function — as long as you hold down the key, the name is displayed.

Example: Entering a Labeled Program.

The following keystrokes delete the previous program for the area of a circle and enter a new one that includes a label and a return instruction. If you make a mistake during entry, press ato delete the current program line, then reenter the line correctly.
