A closed parenthesis can also supply a missing El En operand. For instance. 3 gives 6. The ) used the display value 3 for the missing operand.

Actually, as many as fifteen parentheses can be open at any one time and four operations can be pending. but only in the most complex situations would these limits be approached. One or more leading parentheses shift the level of processing to the second level allowing for only 3 pending operations. If you do attempt to open more than 15 parentheses or if the calculator tries to store more than four operations, the error message appears in the display. The following example, requiring the storage of 4 operations, shows the order of interpretation provided by the calculator's operating system. 21
