Float
and
0123456789
, which only affect the way an answer is displayed
on the TIN73.
The
Float
(floating decimal point) setting displays up to 10
digits, plus the sign and decimal.
The
0123456789
(fixed decimal point) setting specifies the
number of digits (
0
through

) to display to the right of the
decimal. Place the cursor on the desired number of decimal
digits, and then press b.
The decimal setting applies to answers (excluding fractional
ones) on the Home screen, X- and Y-coordinates on a graph
display, list elements in the List editor, table elements on the
Table screen, and regression model results.

control how the TIN73 interprets angle values in trigonometric
functions. See Chapter 11: Trigonometry for a detailed
explanation.
