Note: To add one or more instructions at the end of a program that is not
the last program stored in program memory, use the procedure described
below under Adding Instructions within a Program.
Example:
With the last program from the preceding section stored in the
calculator, suppose you wanted to calculate the net income after taxes. In the RPN
program, you could add a
-
instruction at the end in order to calculate the net
income after taxes. In the ALG program, the tax computed would need to be
subtracted from the income previously stored in R
9
(and this will be done by
changing the sign of the tax to make it negative and then adding it to the income).
You could do this as follows:
