Maximum Calculation Length

Page 16 highlights

Example: m IC-CEI3 4 I ENTER I 3+4 7 3+4 7 35 However, the Card has a feature that lets you recall the result of the previous calculation and use it in any location in the current calculation. This is called the last answer feature. It allows the revious answer to be recalled any number of times by pressing the ANS key. If you entered the last example, press I C-CE I then ANS and you will see "35" displayed. Let's look at an example where a previous result is used twice in the current calculation. Note that in this example, the last answer changes and is updated with the current answer each time I ENTER I is pressed. Example: Use the result (6.25) of the operation 50 I : I 8 to compute 12 x 5/6.25 + 24 x 3/6.25 = m I CeCE I 5 0 8 I ENTER I 6.25 1 2 005 I : II ANS ~ 6.25 L Last answer recalled 20 rn 2 4 [X] 3 I : II AlS II 21.12 I C-CE III ANS I Pressing IENTER Icauses the previous "last answer" to be replaced with the result of the latest calculation. The last answer is not, however, cleared by pressing the IC-CE Ior 00 key, but is cleared when the power is turned off. The last answer cannot be recalled when the Card is not in the RUN mode. The last answer is replaced when a program is executed. Maximum Calculation Length The length of the calculation that can be entered is limited to 254 key strokes before the I ENTER I key is pressed. If you exceed this limit and an error occurs, press the I PLAY BACK II, BJ, or [EJ key to recall the entry. The cursor flashes at the last permitted character position. Break the calculation into two or more steps. Eight b~~s are used for each numeric value in single-precision mode, so that It IS not always possible to enter 254 keystrokes. (13 bytes per numeric value in double-precision mode.) 21

However,
the
Card
has
a
feature
that lets
you
recall
the
result
of
the
previous
calculation
and
use
it
in
any
location
in
the
current
calculation.
This
is
called
the
last
answer
feature.
It
allows
the
revious
answer
to
be
recalled
any
number
of
times
by
pressing
the
ANS
key.
If
you
entered
the
last
example,
press
I
C-CE
I
then
ANS
and
you
will
see

displayed.
Let's
look
at
an
example
where
a
previous
result
is
used
twice
in
the
current

Note
that
in
this
example,
the

changes
and
is
updated
with
the

each
time
I

Pressing

The

is
not,
however,
cleared
by
pressing

when

The

cannot
be
recalled
when
the

is
not

The

when

Maximum Calculation Length
The

of
the

that
can
be
entered
is
limited
to
254
key
strokes
before

key
is
pressed.
If
you
exceed
this
limit
and
an
error
occurs,
press
the

key
to
recall
the
entry.
The
cursor
flashes
at
the
last
permitted
character
position.
Break
the
calculation
into
two
or
more
steps.
Eight
b~~s
are
used
for
each

value
in

mode,
so
that
It
IS
