Inserting Data into an eActivity
Inserting a Calculation Row
Calculation rows let you perform calculations in an eActivity. When you input a mathematical
expression, the output expression (result) appears, right justified, in the next line. An
eActivity that contains only calculation rows looks very much like the Main application
window. Note that you can edit the input expression, but not the output expression (result).
You can also copy, paste, drag and drop input and output expressions. Both the input and
output rows scroll independently in a horizontal direction.
Tip
• If the input expression of a calculation row is not a valid expression, the row will contain only the
input expression, without an output expression.
