ENTRY (Last Entry) Storage Area

Using ENTRY (Last Entry)
When you press Í on the home screen to evaluate an expression or
execute an instruction, the expression or instruction is placed in a storage
area called ENTRY (last entry). When you turn off the TI-84 Plus C, ENTRY
is retained in memory.
To recall ENTRY, press y [. The last entry is pasted to the current
cursor location, where you can edit and execute it. On the home screen
or in an editor, the current line is cleared and the last entry is pasted to
the line.
Because the TI-84 Plus C updates ENTRY only when you press Í, you
can recall the previous entry even if you have begun to enter the next
expression.
