Do not use
dollar
signs
or commas
when entering
a
calculation
formula
or
expression into the COMPUTER.
These characters
have special meaning in the
BASIC programming
language.
Now try
these
simple
arithmetic
examples.
Remember to clear with the
~
between calculations.
Before
going
into operation
examples,
let's
touch
on
some important points
in
operation.
Whereas we
usually use
operators
+,
- ,
x,
or
-:-
for our mathematical
calculations on
paper,
we
don't
use
the operators
x
and
-:-
for
our ari
t
hmetic operations
in
BASIC.
Instead of
x
and
+.
we use an asterisk(*) and
slash
(/), respectively.
The
operators
*
and
I
can
be
entered
by pressing
(R!J
and
G:Ll
keys,
respectively.
To get the result
of
a manual calculation, operate
the
I
ENTER
I
key instead of
00
key.
