The first three columns of keys are multi-function in purpose. Number-to-character assignment for
this array means that each successive push of key 1 through 9 selects the nested choices. For
example, the first time the '2' key is pushed, it selects a '2'; the second time, an 'A'; the third time,
a 'B'; the fourth time, a 'C'. Pushing the key a fifth time would start over with a '2'.
The last column of keys in this array function as follows:
Use the '+/-' key to change signs (positive/negative);
o
Use the '.' key to enter a decimal point;
o
Use the '0' key to enter a zero.
