2.2 Pretty Print/ 2D

Other calculators like the TI-89 use a feature called pretty print to display

fractions, exponents, radials and other complex mathematical expressions.In

contrast, the Casio Classpad uses a ﬁll in two dimensional featire found under

the tab marked 2D. The calculator will prompt the user to ﬁll in speciﬁed

ﬁelds. If a 2D feature is not available, the user must rely on proper use of

grouping symbols.

The 2D window can be used for a variety of functions such as fractions N,

square root 5, radicals %, exponents O, exponentials Q, logarithms

V, and absolute value 4. Pretty print, as mentioned previously, means

that the calculator can translate a statement like (2x+2)/4 into the form

2x+2

. The calculator will interact with either form. Whenever possible, the

calculator will convert results to pretty print.
