Getting started

Algebraic
precedence
order of
evaluation

Functions within an expression are evaluated in the
following order of precedence. Functions with the same
precedence are evaluated in order from left to right.

1. Expressions within parentheses. Nested parentheses

are evaluated from inner to outer.

2. Prefix functions, such as SIN and LOG.

3. Postfix functions, such as !

4. Power function, ^, NTHROOT.

5. Negation, multiplication, and division.

6. Addition and subtraction.

7. AND and NOT.

8. OR and XOR.

9. Left argument of | (where).

10.Equals, =.

Largest and
smallest
numbers

The smallest number the hp 39g+ can represent is
1 × 10

–499

(1E–499). A smaller result is displayed as

zero. The largest number is 9.99999999999 × 10

499

(1E499). A greater result is displayed as this number.

Clearing
numbers

clears the character under the cursor. When the

cursor is positioned after the last character,

deletes the character to the left of the cursor, that is, it
performs the same as a backspace key.

CANCEL

(

) clears the edit line.

CLEAR

clears all input and output in the

display, including the display history.

Using previous
results

The HOME display (

) shows you four lines of

input/output history. An unlimited (except by memory)
number of previous lines can be displayed by scrolling.
You can retrieve and reuse any of these values or
expressions.
