Entering and Evaluating Equations
If the equation is an
assignment,
only the right–hand side is evaluated. The
result is returned to the X–register and stored in the left–hand variable, then
the variable is viewed in the display. Essentially,
finds the value of
the left–hand variable.
If the equation is an
equality
or
expression,
the entire equation is evaluated
— just as it is for
. The result is returned to the X–register.
Example:
Evaluating an Equation with ENTER.
Use the equation from the beginning of this chapter to find the volume of a 35–mm
diameter pipe that's 20 meters long.
Using XEQ for Evaluation
If an equation is displayed in the equation list, you can press
to evaluate the
equation. The entire equation is evaluated, regardless of the type of equation. The
result is returned to the X–register.
