INDEX OF OPERATIONS
All commands available are found below with their
names
and
keystrokes
necessary.
Names printed in
bold
face in this list belong to functions directly accessible on the key-
board, the other commands may be picked from catalogs. The command names will
show up identically catalogs and in program listings unless specified otherwise explicite-
ly. Sorting in index and catalogs is case insensitive and works in the following order:
␣
, 0…9, A…Z,
…
, ( ) +
– ×
/
± , . ! ? : ;
‗ ― # * @ _ ~
< ≤ = ≠ ≥ > % $ € £ ≦ √ ∫
∞ & \ ^ | G [ ] { }
Super- and subscripts are handled like normal characters in sorting. The fifth last item in
the sorting order list above is the indicator for the angular mode GRAD.
Generally, functions and keystroke programming will work as on
HP-42S
, bit and integer
functions as on
HP-16C
, unless stated otherwise under remarks. Especially, all
tests
will
return ―true‖ or ―false‖ in the dot matrix if called from the keyboard; if called in a program,
they will skip the next program line if the test is false. Please refer to the manuals of the
vintage calculators mentioned for additional information about traditional commands.
Functions available on the WP 34S for the first time on an RPN calculator are high-
lighted yellow under remarks, while operations carrying a familiar name but deviating in
their functionality here are marked light red.
Parameters
will be taken from the lowest stack level(s) unless mentioned explicitly in
the 2
nd
column
– then they must follow the command. If
underlined
, they may also be
specified using indirect addressing, as shown in the
tables
above. Some parameters of
statistical distributions must be given in registers
J
and
K
if specified.
In the following, each function is listed stating the mode(s) it will work in, abbreviated by
their
indicators
. In this column an ―&‖ stands for a Boolean AND, a comma for an OR,
and a
backslash for ―not‖. So e.g. 2
X
works in all modes but alpha. All operations may
also be entered in mode PRG unless stated otherwise explicitly.

DECM
Indicates an operation allowing complex input(s)
and/or complex results (see
above
). The prefix
may be heading all functions

Sets 12h time display mode meaning 1:23 be-
comes 1:23 AM and 13:45 becomes 1:45 PM.
This makes a difference in αTIME only.
