Because you're starting out with the value in that variable. You're not multiplying something else by it.

Please see the section of the manual devoted to register arithmetic.

Reading the initial question and answers, I going back to basics, just in case.

If the number of digits of the result is greater than the maximum of the digit the calculator can handle, the calculator will keep the most significant digits and will adjust the exponent to keep the number valid, when that happen you have no choice but to deal with the E.

In your case, if you do [SHIFT] [DISP] [ALL] and the value in X still have E in it, then this is what the calculator has internally, removing the exponent will render the number invalid.

Yes I understand that but why if I am doing a program that Doing l*h*w=v and I input l=5 h=5 w=5 that I not getting 125

fs5qc · 01-08-2021, 07:00 PM

I got it I need to do DISP FIX and 2

As explained previously your program is not correct and will not return 125. Try with the program example from the HP-42S manual that was quoted by Steve Simpkin.

fs5qc · 01-08-2021, 07:21 PM

I correct it now I got the good answer

Thanks for your help
I am not use with the 42 but more with the prime or the ti 84 plus

Code:

formula → Length * Width * Height = Volume

f(x)=0  → ( Length * Width * Height ) — Volume = 0

Analysis of your program: (not working)

Code:

01▸LBL "VOL"   // Volume calculation program

02 MVAR "V"    // Volume

03 MVAR "W"    // Width

04 MVAR "L"    // Length

05 MVAR "H"    // Height

06 STO "W"     // overwriting W with X content, whatever it is

07 STO "L"     // overwriting L with X content, whatever it is

08 STO "H"     // overwriting H with X content, whatever it is

09 RCL "L"     // X = Length (unknown value)

10 RCL "H"     // X = Height (unknown value) & Y = Length (unknown value)

11 ×           // X = X * Y  (unknown value)

12 RCL× "W"    // X = X * Width (unknown value)

13 STO "V"     // overwriting V with X content, whatever it is

14 RCL "V"     // X = Volume (unknown value)

15 END         // end of the program

Analysis of the user's manual program: (working)

Code:

01▸LBL "VOL"   // Volume calculation program

02 MVAR "L"    // Length

03 MVAR "W"    // Width

04 MVAR "H"    // Height

06 RCL "L"     // X =     Length    // X =   Length

07 RCL* "W"    // X = X * Width     // X =   Length * Width

08 RCL* "H"    // X = X * Height    // X =   Length * Width * Height

09 RCL- "V"    // X = X - Volume    // X = ( Length * Width * Height ) - Volume

10 END         // end of the program

Solving: [yellow-key] [SOLVER] [VOL] 5 [L] 5 [W] 5 [H] [V] → 125
