Re: decimal point as a multiplier on the 92



<<Today I was doing a problem on my calc when I noticed a something
strange.
I typed  2..3  (enter) and got .6
  then   (2).(.3) and got .6
  I just thought that this was interesting is this old news,  I do know
that
that is the standard way in calc and all,  but strange that the TI Did
that.>>


  It's not using it as a multiplier! In 2..3 it's translating the two into
two numbers (because no number can have two decimal points of course),
like you were saying 1. and 1.0 would be the same number, it knows you
just left out the 0. And its default is to multipy things next to each
other (like 10x for example)
  As for your (2).(.3) check that again.. I get a syntax error, which
would make sense.
