22 Section 1: Getting Started Simple Arithmetic Calculations in ALG Mode In ALG mode, any simple arithmetic calculation involves two numbers and an operation - addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. To do such a calculation on your hp 12c platinum, you tell the calculator the first number, then the operation to be performed, and then tell the calculator the second number. The answer is calculated when the equals key (}) is pressed. For example, to calculate 21.1 + 23.8, do the following: Keystrokes (ALG mode) Display OO 0.00 Clears any pending operations. 21.1+ 21.10 Keys in the first number and prepares to add the second. 23.8 } 23.8 44.90 Keys the second number. } completes the calculation. Once a calculation has been completed: z pressing another digit key starts a new calculation, or z pressing an operator key continues the calculation. Keystrokes (ALG mode) Display OO 0.00 Clears any pending operations. 77.35- 77.35 90.89} -13.54 } completes the calculation. 65gr§12} 96.75 New calculation: 65 ×12 z3.5} 27.64 Calculates 96.75 ÷ 3.5 You can also do long calculations without pressing } after each intermediate calculation: just press it at the end.
