Pressing S=takes you straight to the very first entry

 

in history, and pressing S\takes you straight to the

 

most recent entry.

Using the clipboard

 

Your last four expressions are always copied to the

 

clipboard and can easily be retrieved by pressing

 

SZ. This opens the clipboard from where you can

 

quickly choose the one you want.

 

Note that expressions and not results are available from

 

the clipboard. Note too that the last four expressions

 

remain on the clipboard even if you have cleared history.

To reuse the last

Press S+(Ans) to

result

retrieve your last answer

 

for use in another

 

calculation. Ans

 

appears on the entry

 

line. This is a shorthand for your last answer and it can be

 

part of a new expression. You could now enter other

 

components of a calculation—such as operators, number,

 

variables, etc.—and create a new calculation.

T i p

 

You don’t need to first select Ans before it can be part of

 

a new calculation. If you press a binary operator key to

 

begin a new calculation, Ans is automatically added to

 

the entry line as the first component of the new

 

calculation. For example, to multiply the last answer by

 

13, you could enter S+s13E. But the

 

first two keystrokes are unnecessary. All you need to enter

 

is s13E.

 

 

 

The variable Ans is always stored with full precision

 

whereas the results in history will only have the precision

 

determined by the current Number Format setting (see

 

page 31). In other words, when you retrieve the number

 

assigned to Ans, you get the result to its full precision; but

 

when you retrieve a number from history, you get exactly

 

what was displayed.
