^ (Output Command)
Function: Displays and intermediate result during program execution.
Description:
1. This command momentarily interrupts program execution and displays alpha
character text or the result of the calculation immediately before it.
2. The output command should be used at locations where you would normally
press the w key during a manual calculation.
: (Multi-statement Command)
Function: Connects two statements for sequential execution without stopping.
Description:
1. Unlike the output command (^), statements connected with the multi-statement
command are executed non-stop.
2. The multi-statement command can be used to link two calculation expressions or
two commands.
3. You can also use a carriage return indicated by _ in place of the multi-statement
command.
