, the
total price (INT + PRICE) will be displayed. LAST X will be unchanged, but the
original PRICE will be found in the Y-register. One can also do

the T-register.
Parentheses Calculations
In ALG mode, parentheses can be used in calculations to change the order in
which operations are evaluated. When there are pending open parentheses, the
( )
status indicator will be shown in the display. As open parentheses are closed, the
expression contained within the parentheses is evaluated. The final result of a
calculation will be displayed when you press the
³
key, and then any pending
parentheses will be closed. You can’t use more than 13 pending (opened)
parentheses at the same time.
