For convenience, prefix–type functions, which require one or two arguments,
display a left parenthesis when you enter them.

The prefix functions that require two arguments are %CHG, XROOT, Cn,r and
Pn,r. Separate the two arguments with a space.

In an equation, the XROOT function takes its arguments in the opposite order
from RPN usage. For example, –8

š

3

.

to is equivalent to

%!1.2

.

All other two–argument functions take their arguments in the Y, X order used
for RPN. For example, 28

š

4 {

Q8T

} is equivalent to

Q8T1

2

.

For two–argument functions, be careful if the second argument is negative.
The second argument must not start with "subtraction" (

„

). For a number,

use

_

. For a variable, use parentheses and

„

. These are valid equations:
