The functions in the PARTS menu ({[PARTS]) shown in the following table and the zIfunction alter the number in the X–register in simple ways. These functions are primarily used in programming.

Description

 

 

{}

Integer part. Removes the fractional part of x and replaces

 

it with zeros. (For example, the integer part of 14.2300 is

 

14.000.)

{}

Fractional part. Removes the integer part of x and

 

replaces it with zeros. (For example, the fractional part of

 

14.2300 is 0.2300)

{ }

Absolute value. Replaces x with its absolute value.

 

 

The RND function ( zI) rounds x internally to the number of digits specified by the display format. (The internal number is represented by 12 digits.) Refer to chapter 5 for the behavior of RND in Fraction–display mode.

Names of Function

You might have noticed that the name of a function appears in the display when you press and hold the key to execute it. (The name remains displayed for as long as you hold the key down.) For instance, while pressing <, the display shows !. "SQRT" is the name of the function as it will appear in program lines (and usually in equations also).
