Functions require one or two arguments (an argument is a number
acted upon by a function):
B Functions with one argument act on the number in the display. For
example, 6
calculates the square root of 6. A function cannot be
executed when the last character keyed in is an operator. For exam-
ple, you cannot key in 6
and then press [Jz].
B Functions with two arguments and one result use
to sepa-
rate the arguments. For example, 4
5@%CHG] calculates the
percent change between 4 and 5. The arguments can be expres-
sions. For example 1(+]3
2(+]
3B%CHG] also calculates the
percent change between 4 and 5.
B Polar/rectangular coordinate conversions use two arguments and
return two results. The HP-22S uses four special registers to store
and calculate the coordinates (see page 48).
