Modify Function
Calculation results are internally obtained in scientific notation
with a mantissa of up to 14 digits. However, because calculation
results are displayed in the form designated by the display nota-
tion and the number of decimal places indicated, a displayed
calculation result may differ from that held internally. By using
the modify function (the 2nd function of the
+
key), the
internal value is converted to match that of the display, so that
the displayed value can be used without change in subsequent
operations.
