values, you may enter fractions — values are displayed using the current
display format.
See chapter 6 for information about working with equations.
Fractions in Programs
When you're typing a program, you can type a number as a fraction — but
it's converted to its decimal value. All numeric values in a program are shown
as decimal values — Fraction–display mode is ignored.
When you're running a program, displayed values are shown using
Fraction–display mode if it's active. If you're prompted for Values by INPUT
instructions, you may enter fractions, regardless of the display mode.
A program can control the fraction display using the /c function and by
setting and clearing flags 7, 8, and 9. Setting flag 7 turns on Fraction–display
mode —
z Š isn't programmable. See "Flags" in chapter 13.
See chapters 12 and 13 for information about working with programs.
