Random Numbers
Apseudo-random number with three significant digits can be generated by pressing @` =. To generate the next random number, press =. You can perform this func- tion in the normal and statistics modes.
• Random numbers use memory Y. Each random number is generated on the basis of the value stored in memory Y (pseudo-random number series).
Angular Unit Conversions | (5) |
Each time @gare pressed, the angular unit changes in sequence.
This calculator has 6 temporary memories (A-D, X and Y), one independent memory (M) and one last answer memory. Independent memory and temporary memories are only avail- able in the normal mode.
[Temporary memories (A-D, X and Y)]
A stored value can be recalled as a value or variable for the use in equations.
•In case you store an infinite decimal in the memory, recall it as a variable to obtain accurate answers.
Ex.) 1 | /3 OY (0.3333...is stored to Y) |
3 | *RY= | 0.999999999 |
3 | *@KY= | 1. |
[Independent memory (M)]
In addition to all the features of temporary memories, a value can be added to or subtracted from an existing memory value.
[Last answer memory (ANS)]
The calculation result obtained by pressing =or any other calculation ending instruction is automatically stored in the last answer memory.
Note:
Calculation results from the functions indicated below are automatically stored in memories X or Y. For this reason, when using these functions, be careful with the use of memo- ries X and Y.
•Random numbers .................. Y memory
•→ rθ , → xy ............................... X memory, Y memory
Temporary memories and last answer memory are cleared even when the same mode is reselected.
This calculator allows the previous calculation result to be used in the following calculation.
For example, you can calculate by ⁄=and s=. The previous calculation result will not be recalled after enter- ing multiple instructions.
This calculator performs arithmetic operations and memory calculations using a fraction, and conversion between a deci- mal number and a fraction.
•In all cases, a total of up to 10 digits including integer, numerator, denominator and the symbol (l) can be entered.
•If the number of digits to be displayed is greater than 10, the number is converted to and displayed as a decimal number.
•A decimal number, variable, or exponent cannot be used in a fraction.
Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations (9)
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be performed. In addition, the four basic arithmetic operations and memory calculations can be carried out using the sexagesimal system.
Coordinate Conversions | (10) |
• Before performing a calculation, select the angular unit.
Y | | P (x,y) | Y | | P (r,θ ) |

•The calculation result is automatically stored in memories X and Y.
Value of r or x: X memory
Value of θ or y: Y memory
In this calculator, all calculation results are internally obtained in scientific notation with up to 12 digits for the mantissa. However, since calculation results are displayed in the form designated by the display notation and the number of decimal places indicated, the internal calculation result may differ from that shown in the display. By using the modify function, the internal value is converted to match that of the display, so that the displayed value can be used without change in subse- quent operations.
