k Using Multistatements

Multistatements are formed by connecting a number of individual statements for sequential

execution. You can use multistatements in manual calculations and in programmed calcula-

tions. There are two different ways that you can use to connect statements to form

multistatements.

•Colon (:)

Statements that are connected with colons are executed from left to right, without stopping.

•Display Result Command (

When execution reaches the end of a statement followed by a display result command, execu-

tion stops and the result up to that point appears on the display. You can resume execution by

pressing the w key.

Example 6.9 × 123 = 848.7

123 ÷ 3.2 = 38.4375
