Doing Two–number Arithmetic in ALG

This discussion of arithmetic using ALG replaces the following parts that are affected by ALG mode. One-number functions (such as #) work the same in ALG and RPN modes.

Two–number arithmetic operations are affected by ALG mode:

„Simple arithmetic

„Power functions (, )

„Percentage calculations (Qor T)

„Permutations and Combinations ({\, {_)

„Quotient and Remainder of Division ({F, D)

Simple Arithmetic

Here are some examples of simple arithmetic.

In ALG mode, you enter the first number, press the operator (›, …, z, q), enter the second number, and finally press the ‘key.

Power Functions

In ALG mode, to calculate a number y raised to a power x, key in y x, then press ‘.
