INTRO TO PROGRAMING:
EVALUATE A FUNCTION - Casio 7700
Introduction
The instructions for entering, running, exiting, and editing are the same
for any program. The actual program on this sheet allows you to quickly
evaluate a function. This may be helpful when determining a reasonable
window for graphing or investigating the value of a limit.
Information that is printed within {} is not typed into the calculator. Usu\
ally
this contains instructions for finding a particular command. Anything
in RED denotes a button on the calculator.
For example + is the addition button. Anything
in BLUE denotes a button on the calculator that
requires hitting another button first. For example the QUIT command will
appear
here as QUIT because you need to hit the
SHIFT
button first.
Your calculator manual will be very valuable for finding the commands
and buttons needed for programming.

How to enter a new program
- Hit MODE followed by the number 2
to initiate the writing mode.
- Move the cursor to an empty position. Hit EXE.
- Now you are ready to type in each line of your program. It is a good idea to use the first line as an indicator of which program you are looking at. For example, in this program you might want the first line to read 'EVALUATE'. This will appear in the program position as a reminder but will not appear when you run the program because the word is within single quotes.
Any words in the program that begin with an uppercase letter (Goto, for example) are actually commands and must be retrieved from a menu or key.
The Program
This program has five lines. Hit EXE at the end of each line, except when using the
symbol. This symbol
has a built in return feature. When you are finished, hit MODE. If you need to delete a character use DEL. It deletes to the right of the cursor. If you need to insert characters use INS. It inserts to the left to the cursor.
