KEY 

NAME 

DESCRIPTION 

 

Percentage 

The behavior of the % function depends upon context. 
If the expression is simply a number with the % operator, the result of the 
expression is the number divided by 100. 
If the % operator is appended to a number which is itself to the right of 
the  +  -  ×  or  ÷  operator,  the  percentage  is  added  to,  subtracted  from, 
multiplied by, or divided by the number to the left of the operator. 

e.g.:  

3      50      

followed by 

   

 

yields a result of 4.5. 

If used in a larger expression the operand must be enclosed in brackets. 

 e.g.:          

3      50                 1    

    results in 5.5 

 If        is followed by any operator without a preceding closing bracket as 
shown above example, a Syntax Error will result. 

 

LN 

Calculates the natural logarithm of an expression. 
e.g.:         

25      4      

followed by        yields ln(100), or 4.605170186. 

 

e

x

 

Calculates the value of e (2.2718282) raised to an expression. 
e.g.:              

 2      3       

followed by         yields e

5

, or 148.4131591. 

 

10

x

 

Calculates the value of 10 raised to a value. 
e.g.:               

5

 followed by       

 

yields 10

5

, or 100000.
