4. Calculations
Precision
The HP 6S scientific calculator calculates answers to 12-digit accuracy, but rounds answers
to 10 digits in the display. When it performs a calculation using the result of a previous
calculation, it uses the stored 12-digit value and not the 10-digit value displayed.
Order of operations
The HP 6S scientific calculator performs operations in the following order:
º, Ê, Ä, Ã
*, d
+, -
&
o, x, X

Logical operations
You can use the following logical operations to compare two numbers. When performing
logical operations, keep the following points in mind:
&o
xX
Ì
•
•
You cannot use decimal-base numbers in logical operations.
The calculator compares the binary versions of the numbers you enter. If the number is
less than 10 digits long, the calculator fills values to the left of the number with 0seg, if
you compare hexadecimal F1 to octal 4, the calculator compares 0000010001 to
0000000100.
•
If you use one number with a logical operation, the calculator compares it to 0000000000.
The logical operators work in the following way:
1. The operation compares the binary digits in the corresponding positions in each of the
numbers.
2. The operation returns a binary digit corresponding to each position.
3. If you are using a base other than binary, the result is shown in the base of the last
number you entered.
The following logical operators are available:
& returns a 1 for every position where there is a 1 in both numbers.
o returns a 1 for every position where there is a 1 in either number.
x returns a 1 for every position where there is a 1 in either number, but not both numbers.
X returns a 1 for every position where there is the same digit in both numbers.
Ì returns the diminished radix complement.
Press these keys to perform the respective binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal logical
operations.

Press to use statistics mode. Statistics mode allows you to enter data and apply the statistics
functions to analyse the data.
Entering a list of data items to analyse
À
Press after each data element. When you press À, the calculator displays the number of
data elements entered.
For example, to enter a list of data consisting of 5, 8 and -3, use the following keystrokes:
5 À 8 À3 Ó À
To enter the results of a calculation as a data item, perform the calculation as you would
normally, then press À when the answer is displayed.
You can amend the data entered into the calculator:
To cancel the last entry you made, press Ô before you press À. Note that when you
press Ô, 0 is displayed. Press In to display the number of data elements stored in the
calculator. To delete a data item you entered previously, enter the value again, then press
IÁ.
