k Start, End, and Step Value Rules
• Linear format is always used for value input.
•You can specify either values or calculation expressions (which
must produce a numeric result) for Start, End, and Step.
•Specifying an End value that is less than the Start value causes
an error, so the number table is not generated.
The specified Start, End, and Step values should produce a
maximum of 30 x-values for the number table being generated.
Executing a number generation table using a Start, End, and Step
value combination that produces more than 30 x-values causes
an error.
Note
•Certain functions and Start, End, Step value combinations can
cause number table generation to take a long time.
k Number Table Screen
The number table screen shows x-values calculated using the
specified Start, End, and Step values, as well as the values obtained
when each x-value is substituted in the function f(x).
•Note that you can use the number table screen for viewing values
only. Table contents cannot be edited.
•Pressing the A key returns to the function editor screen.
k TABLE Mode Precautions
Note that changing the input/output format settings (Math format or
Linear format) on the calculator’s setup screen while in the TABLE
Mode clears the number table generation function.

k Calculation Priority Sequence
The calculator performs calculations according to a calculation priority sequence.
Basically, calculations are performed from left to right.
•Expressions within parentheses have the highest priority.
The following shows the priority sequence for each individual command.
