System Flags
This appendix lists the HP 48 system flags in functional groups. You
can set, clear, and test all flags. The default state of the flags is
clear—except for the Binary Integer Wordsize flags (flags —5 through
-
10
) .
System Flags
Flag Description
-1 Principal Solution.
Clear: QUAD and ISOL return a result representing all
possible solutions.
Set: QUAD and ISOL return only the principal solution.
-2 Symbolic Constants.
Clear: Symbolic constants (e, i,
tt
, MAXR, and MINE)
retain their symbolic form when evaluated, unless the
Numerical Results flag —3 is set.
Set: Symbolic constants evaluate to numbers, regardless of
the state of the Numerical Results flag —3.
-3 Numerical Results.
Clear: Functions with symbolic arguments, including
symbolic constants, evaluate to symbolic results.
Set: Functions with symbolic arguments, including symbolic
constants, evaluate to numbers.
-4 Not used.
-5
thru
-10
Binary Integer Wordsize.
Combined states of flags —5 through —10 set the wordsize
from 1 to 64 bits.
