Program Output
Note: Y= functions are not valid with Prompt.
Disp (display) without a value displays the home screen.
To view the home screen during program execution, follow
the Disp instruction with a Pause instruction.
Disp
Disp with one or more values displays the value of each.
Disp [valueA,valueB,valueC,...,value n]
• If value is a variable, the current value is displayed.
• If value is an expression, it is evaluated and the result is
displayed on the right side of the next line.
• If value is text within quotation marks, it is displayed on
the left side of the current display line. ! is not valid as
text.
Program Output
If Pause is encountered after Disp, the program halts
temporarily so you can examine the screen. To resume
execution, press Í.
Note: If a matrix or list is too large to display in its entirety, ellipses (...)
are displayed in the last column, but the matrix or list cannot be
scrolled. To scroll, use Pause value (page 16.12).
