Using System-Menu Functions

When you include a function from a system menu in a program, the calculator stores only the function. The menu key is not stored in the program

Storing Menu Functions

To store a system-menu function in a program, press the menu key and make the selection you want. The calculator displays the mnemonic for the function you select, but the keystrokes that you use to access the menu function are not stored in the program.

For example, if you press [ CONV ] { MET } { G-L } in the learn mode, the following mnemonic is displayed.
D_3A1G9e

The calculator stores the function to convert gallons to liters in the program, but it does not store [ CONV ] and { MET }.

Restoring the Program Counter Display

Pressing a system-menu key displays the menu functions on the second line of the display. If the calculator is in the learn mode, the menu functions replace the program counter. To restore the program counter, press [ 2nd ] [ PC ]. [ 2nd ] [ PC ] alternately displays and erases the program counter.

If the counter is in the display when you press [ 2nd ] [ PC ], the calculator erases the counter.
If the counter is not displayed when you press [ 2nd ] [ PC ], the calculator displays the counter.

Example

The random-number function of the calculator generates numbers that are fractional values. By using the expression given below, you can generate random integers that lie between 1 adn a given upper limit:
N = INT( L x R# + 1 )
where N = the generated random integer, L= the selected upper limit, and R# = the random number produced by the calculator.

Using the format given above, write a program that generates random integers between 1 and 6.
