Using the Ans Key

Enters the result of the most recent calculation. This makes it easier to evaluate complicated expressions and perform repeated operations.

• Press 2 + 3, then Enter.
• The result, 5, appears in the bottom window. This is the value stored in Ans.
• Press Ans + 10 and then Enter.

To create a sequence that starts at 7 and whose rule is "add 2":

• Press 7, then Enter.
• Press + 2. Notice that "ans" appears before the + sign.
• Press Enter. The result is 9.
• Press Enter twice more. The first press shows "ans + 2"; the second calculates the result, 11.
