I see nobody has raised this question, so I'll raise it myself. How does one store numbers/results on this calculator? There is no M+ button nor any similar memory buttons visible on the GUI. Nor is there any mention of how to do this under Calculator Help. Since 99% of calculators provide this very basic task, am I missing something???

There is no default 'memory' button in the default 'basic' mode of the calculator. Some ultra basic calculators off the shelf don't even have that mode.

But fear not, there is a memory function in Advanced Mode. But, not the simple "Memory +/-/Recall" that calculators have.

I have an example there for how you would store something explicitly in a variable - a = 10 + 20 + 30 is what I typed in, and it stored it in the variable a. I also tested (not shown here, but it works) 10 + 20 + 30 which got me 60, and then afterwards did a = ans, and the a variable got the value of the last-executed command (60) and stored it in a.

Think of standard algebra with regards to this type of algebraic memory, and not the standard simple "M+" button from a basic calculator. So you'd do some math and add it to memory by doing a = a + ans to get a 'new' memory value that has the prior mathematical value that was calculated added to it.

  • Thanks. I see that on basic format one can also assign variables to store values/results. I guess that's the approach to use here. Mar 9, 2018 at 18:08

You could install galculator, which has memory functions.

sudo apt install galculator

Then run:
