Chapter 5: The Basics of Programming

Programs are a sequence of button entries that are stored into the calculator. Calculations involving the same sequence of button entries are common, and saving them in a program can save time.

Creating Your Own Program

To create a program, just write it and store it.

¾Write out the sequence of operations you will use to calculate the value or values you wish to find.

¾ Select the function option by touching either b ALG or b RPN

¾Note: Use programs made in ALG to perform operations while in ALG METHOD only, and programs made in RPN METHOD to perform operations while in RPN METHOD only.

¾Touch b P/R to enable program function. In program mode, operations entered are not executed, but stored into the calculator. The PRGM icon will appear on the display screen while in program mode.

¾Touch b clear PRGM to clear any previous programs stored into the calculator

¾Enter the sequence of operations you wrote down in the first step.
