This base-60 entry format lets you:
•
Enter an angle in degrees/minutes/seconds
without regard to the current angle mode.
•
Enter time as hours/minutes/seconds.

unit
Designates the units for an

. All
unit names must begin with an underscore.
You can use pre-defined units or create
your own units. For a list of pre-defined
units, refer to the chapter about constants
and measurement units in this book. You
can press:

variable
_
When
variable
has no value, it is treated as
though it represents a complex number. By
default, without the _
, the variable is
treated as real.
If
variable
has a value, the _ is ignored and
variable
retains its original data type.
Note: You can store a complex number to
a variable without using _
. However, for
best results in calculations such as
cSolve()
and
cZeros()
, the _ is recommended.
Assuming z is undefined:
