Program Step 0

Programs start at step 1, however, if you edit a program by pressing I with the

program displayed and press the up key >, you will find there is a step 0. Press any key

with step 0 displayed and that key becomes a shortcut for the program. You may also assign

any : (HOLD) key combination as well.

For example, with the sphere example shown in Table 13-2, after your program has calculated

the solution, press :E to open the program menu once again. Prgm 0 is displayed,

Figure 1

the program used for the sphere example (Figure 1). Press I, followed by > to

select step 0. Press

:followed by k(assuming you are not interested in using the

k key). Exit the program by pressing O, key in a number, 5, and then press

:k and you will see the your program was executed with the same results as shown

in the table!

Quits program editing mode. Note that

program 0 uses 13 bytes and has a

checksum of 104. Checksum is a number

that verifies the program data is correct.

You must be set in FIX 3 or higher to see

the full checksum. If your number does not

match that shown, verify your FIX setting

is set for 3 or higher. If three digits are

showing and the number differs from that

shown, the program has been keyed in

incorrectly.

5==

Enters the number 5 (the sphere radius)

and executes program 0. The result, the

volume of the sphere, is 523.6. We press

= twice: the first press completes the

entry of the 5 (after all, we could have

been in the process of entering an

equation, such as 5*2). The second press

runs the program.
