Appendix A:
Functions and Instructions
Functions return a value, list, or matrix. You can use functions in an expression. Instructions initiate an
action. Some functions and instructions have arguments. Optional arguments and accompanying commas
are enclosed in brackets ( [ ] ).
From the CATALOG, you can paste any function or instruction to the home screen or to a command line
in the program editor. However, some functions and instructions are not valid on the home screen. The
items in this table appear in the same order as they appear in the CATALOG.
† indicates either keystrokes that are valid in the program editor only or ones that paste certain
instructions when you are in the program editor. Some keystrokes display menus that are available only
in the program editor. Others paste mode, format, or table-set instructions only when you are in the
program editor.
