(polar input)
Enters a complex value in (r

angle
is interpreted according to the current Angle
mode setting.
In Radian angle mode and Rectangular complex
format mode:

dd
A positive or negative number

A non-negative number
Returns
dd
+(

/3600).
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.
In Degree angle mode:

Enters a prime symbol in a differential equation. A
single prime symbol denotes a 1st-order
differential equation, two prime symbols denote a
2nd-order, etc.

unit
Designates the units for an
expression
. 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
module about constants and measurement units.
You can press 2

to select units from a
menu, or you can type the unit names directly.

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:
real(z) ¸
z
real(z_) ¸ real(z_)
