 3. Use of parenthesis
The parentheses keys are needed to cluster together a series of operations when it
is necessary to override the priority system of algebra . When parentheses are in
use on the EL-506P the symbol ( ) will appear in the display .
Calculations in parentheses have priority over other calculations. Parentheses can
be used up to 15 times in a single leve!. Calculations within the inner-most set of
parentheses will be calculated first .
Calculate : 12 + 42 + (8 - 6)

Note : The [IJ keys locateci just before the @] or ~ key can be omitted .
But the opening parenthesis, [IJ , must be entered.

14
I Supplementary 1 - priority level

The machine, provided with a function that judges the priority leve! of individuai
calculations, permits keys to be operateci according to a given mathematical formula.

The following shows the priority level of individuai calculations.

Levai Operations
(1) Functions, such as sin, x 2 , and %
(2) yx, lfy
(3) X, (Calculations which are given the same priority leve! are
(4) +, - executed in sequence.)
(5) =, M+
The calculation in parentheses has priority to others.

The numbers (D - ® i ndicates the sequence in which the calculati ons are carried
out.
When calculations are executed from higher pr i ority one in sequence a lower priority
one must be reserved . The machine is provided with memories of 4 levels to meet
such requirement.
As the memories can also be used in a calculation including parentheses, calculation
can be performed according to a g i ven mathematical formula unless parentheses and
pending operation exceed 4 levels in tota!.

16
• Parenthesis [IJ key can be operated up to 15 times in 1 leve!.
• Functions are calculated immediately after key operati on without being retained.
(x 2 , 1/x, nl, +DEG , +O.MS, etc.)
• In calculations including no parentheses , pending does net occur beyond 3 levels .

arithmetic operation is subsequently done . To avoid this , the value of 8
is first determined and entered with the W key, then the value of r is
entered with the [fil key .

34
 Notes : • lf the W or W key is operated in a half way of other calculation
sequence, the intermediate result obtained up to that time or the
pend ing operators reserved within parentheses ( ) will be cleared.

 COMPLEX NUMBER CALCULATION
Complex number calculation:
To carry out complex number calculations, first set the calculator to the Complex
number mode (CPLX mode). In the CPLX mode the calculator can perform the
four arithmetic functions, as well as, serial calculations. To put the calculator into
CPLX mode press the ~ key and the ~ key . A [!l;IJJ symbol is displayed
on the upper right of the screen to show that the calculator is in CPLX mode.
To clear this mode press the ~ key and the ~ key when the C!l;IJJ symbol
is being displayed. (The [!1;1JJ symbol will disappear.)
A complex number is represented in the a + bi format. The "a" is the real part
while the "bi" is the imaginary part. When inputting the real part, after inputting
the number press the W key. When inputting the imaginary part, after inputting
the number press the w key. To obtain the result press the § key .

38
The four arithmetic calculations can be performed using the foliowing format:

Addition : (a+bi)+(c+di) (a+c)+(b+d)i

Subtraction: (a+bi)-(c+di) = (a-c)+(b-d)i
Multiplication: (a+ bi) x (e+ di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + be) i
(a+ bi) .,. (e+ di) = ac + bd + be - ad
Division :
c1+d1 c1+d1
Perform the foliowing calculations.

Notes:
• In complex number calculation mode (CPLX mode) the tour arithmetic func-
tions and coordinate conversion calculations can be pertormed.
• In complex calculation mode (CPLX mode) memory calculations, constant cal-
culations, and calculations with parenthesis can not be performed.
• lf either "a" or "b" is O the calculation can be pertormed without input . How-
ever, if "a" and "b" are both O, one or the other must be input tor one of the
four arithmetic functions (+, -, x, +) to be carried out.

 BINARY, OCTAL, ANO HEXADECIMAL NUMBER CALCULATIONS
The E L -506P performs normai calculations with decimai numbers, but may also
handle binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbers. When performing calculations in
each system, first set the calculator in the desired mode before entering numbers.
This calculator performs the following calculations in each mode in the same manner
that it performs them in decimai mode : basic calculations, calculations with
parenthesis, memory calculations, and constant calculations .

The Mode Setting Operation

Binary system mode (BIN) :
Press the ~ and ~ keys.
• To show that the calculator is set in the binary mode, the [;ill] symbol
appears on the top part of the display.
• In this mode each column is either a O or a 1. In other words only a O or 1 can
appear in this position . (The ~ - W keys become invalid.)

44
Octal system mode (OCT) :
Press the ~ and OCT keys .
• To show that the calculator is set in the octal system, the ~ symbol
appears.
• In this mode each column can have a value from O - 7. Thus, only the keys
[QJ - [f] are val id. The (]] and rn keys become invai id.
Decimai system mode (Normai mode, DEC) :
Press the ~ and foe9 keys.
• In this mode the following symbols do not appear : ITml , ~ , and IIlJJ .
• In normai mode each column can have the value O - 9 .
• In this mode scientific calculations can be performed.
Hexadecimal system mode (HEX) :
Press the ~ and ~ keys .
• To show that the calculator is set in the hexadecimal system, the [IlJJ symbol
appears .

45
 • In this mode each column can have the values O ~ 9 or A (10), B (11 ), C (12),
0(13), E(14), F(15).
• When A ~ F is to be input in HEX mode , if the ~ , ~ , (i':], [:_DE~ , [Tii) ,
~ keys are pressed the letters appearing on the upper right corners will be
input .
New try to convert the decimai values 18 and 63 into the various systems. lf the

 Notes: • Scientific calculations can be performad only in decimai system mode.
• The number of parentheses that can be used in a single calculation and
the level of a pending operation are the same as with decimai system
calculation.
• When a decimai number having a fractional part is converted into a
binary, octal, or hexadecimal number, the fractional part will be
truncated, with only the integer part converted into the respective
notation.
Example : ~ [-~ 12.34 ~ ~ -+ ml3 c.
~ E~ ... 12.
• lf the result of conversion is outside the calculation range, an error will
result. In this case, however, mode switching is effective.

Example : ~ •ot:c) 512 -+ 512 .

(31 Display system

This mach i ne displays a calculation result (X), if it is within the following range,
in the floating decimai point system.
0 .000000001 ~ I X I ~ 9999999999

And otherwise the machine displays I X I in the scientific notation system.

However a calculation result within the above range is also capable of be i ng
displayed in the scientific notation system by pressing the B key .

Example : ~ ~ [ID
0 rn m rn @:i ➔ 0.055555556
(The 10th decimai piace is rounded.)
➔ 5.5555555-02
(The 10th decimai piace of the man-
tissa is rou nded.)

86
➔ 0.055555556
➔ 0 .055555555
This is determined by the calculator in
the form of 5 .55555555556 x 10- 2 •
Rounding the 11th digit of the man-
tissa results in 5.555555556 x 10- 2 •
When changed to the floating decimai
display, the rounded parts may not be
displayed as in this example.
