k Calculation Priority Sequence
The calculator performs calculations according to a
calculation priority sequence.
• Basically, calculations are performed from left to right.
• Expressions within parentheses have the highest priority.
• The following shows the priority sequence for each
individual command.
1. Function with parentheses:
Pol(, Rec(
sin(, cos(, tan(, sin
–1 (, cos –1 (, tan –1 (, sinh(, cosh(, tanh(,
sinh –1 (, cosh –1 (, tanh –1 (
log(, ln(, e ^(, 10^(, '(, 3 '(
Abs(
Rnd(
2. Functions preceded by values, powers, power roots:
x 2
, x 3
, x –1 , x !,
°, r, g , ^(,
x
'(
Percent: %
3. Prefix symbol: (–) (negative sign)
4. Statistical estimated value calculation:
m , n , m
1 , m
2
5. Permutations, combinations: n P r , n C r
6. Multiplication and division:
Ч, ч
Multiplication where sign is omitted: Multiplication sign
omitted immediately before
π, e , variables (2
π, 5A, πA,
etc.), functions with parentheses (2'(3), Asin(30), etc.)
7. Addition and subtraction: +, –
If a calculation contains a negative value, you may need
to enclose the negative value in parentheses. If you want
to square the value –2, for example, you need to input:
(–2)
2
. This is because x 2
is a function preceded by a value
(Priority 2, above), whose priority is greater than the
negative sign, which is a prefix symbol (Priority 3).
