When you press
Í
on the home screen to evaluate an
expression or execute an instruction, the expression or
instruction is placed in a storage area called
ENTRY
(last
entry). When you turn off the TI
.
83,
ENTRY
is retained in
memory.
To recall
ENTRY
, press
y
[
ENTRY
]. The last entry is
pasted to the current cursor location, where you can edit
and execute it. On the home screen or in an editor, the
current line is cleared and the last entry is pasted to the
line.
Because the TI
.
83 updates
ENTRY
only when you press
Í
, you can recall the previous entry even if you have
begun to enter the next expression.
