and replace the numbers in the memory registers. Basic Mode is the default mode. You can use all of the Basic Mode
functions in each of the other modes.
Financial Mode Provides several complex financial functions.
Scientific Mode Provides many additional mathematical functions, including trigonometric and logical functions. You can also store
your own functions and constants, when you use Scientific Mode.
