How worksheets work

Move through worksheet lines, store typed values, compute lines and clear a worksheet.

5.1Move through a worksheet and enter a value#

A worksheet is a list of lines. Open one with its key, then use ↓ and ↑ to move; the list wraps around at the ends. To change a line, type a number and press ENTER. The label stays on the left and the stored value on the right.

  1. Open with its key
  2. ↓ to a line
  3. type a value
  4. ENTER
  5. CPT to solve
  6. 2NDQUITCPT to quit
Using any worksheet.

Example 5.2

Wrap around

  1. Press up on the first line to jump to the last line of the worksheet.

5.2Compute a line (CPT) and the star#

Lines that can be solved show the COMPUTE indicator. Move to such a line and press CPT. A star (✱) beside the value means it was computed. Typing a new value in a line removes the star.

5.3Clear a worksheet#

CE/C on a line restores that line to its stored value. 2NDCLR WORKCE/C (CLR WORK) clears every line of the open worksheet.

Example 5.3
