Hp 10b financial calculators12/29/2023 My guess is that pressing INPUT also loads the displayed number in the last answer register. (Display is supposed to say -40, instead I get 0) RCL = (Here the display is supposed to say 36, but I get 60 instead) Here is how it was presented in the manual:Ģ2 + 14 (Display: -28. While working the example on page 41 of the manual: The last answer can be accessed by pressing RCL =.īut there is a bug. The last answer is what was in the display when the equals key (or any key that finishes an operation, I think) was last pressed. The 10bii+ offers a last answer feature, which is new to the 10b series. I wish HP would have implement RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) mode - even if the mode just turned the left and right parenthesis into swap the x and y registers (xy) and roll the stack down one level (R↓), respectively. For one argument functions, enter the number first then press the function.Ģ ln(12.5) + sin(30°) would require the key pressesĢ x 12.5 + 30 = ![]() The Algebraic mode is not of the "enter the entire expression and then press enter" type. ![]() Chain mode is obvious: any operations act immediately on the displayed number. The 10bii+ offers to operating modes: Chain or Algebraic. * Radian and Degree modes, but not angle conversions.Ĭalculator Forensics asin(acos(atan(tan(cos(sin(9)))))) I like this a lot, became the gamma function is one my favorite functions. * The factorial function now serves ALL real numbers from -252.999999999 (nine 9s) to 253.119. * Hyperbolic functions and their inverses Just remember if you want inverses, activate INV first (blue shift, M+ key) * Trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, tangent and their inverses. With the new 10bii+, you gain a ton of new mathematics functions: You can also recall mostly anything by first pressing RCL then the variable or storage register you want. Personally, I like STO to be a primary function (unshifted), but no big deal. One nit picky point, the STO function is still a shifted function (orange). However, the manual states that you can continue to add data points at a cost: you can no longer review data points and the only have linear regression available. Once the slots are filled, and you will no longer be able to store cash flows. There are 30 slots that are shared between cash flows and data points. ![]() The 10bii+ allows space dedicated for 15 cash flows and 15 data points. * Up to 45 data points can be stored - if you want the full statistical features of the 10bii+. The memory allocation for cash flows and data points are as follows: The M register has been a feature on the 10b series since the beginning. I really like this feature, which allows me to calculate a sum of a large amount of numbers. There is a dedicated M register with three keys dedicated to it: →M (store to M), RM, and M+. Store arithmetic is provided, but not recall arithmetic. The 10bii+ sports 20 memory registers: 0 through 9 and. I was able to clean the calculator immediately and it works in perfect order. Thankfully, the HP 10bii+ it can take a spill and clean up easily, and no, I did not plan that. No missed keystrokes during normal operation. I can actually see the blue shifted functions in all levels of light and angles. The colors on the keyboard are nicer and brighter than its predecessors. I am happy to report that the 10bii+ is consistent with the other financial calculators.Īs for speed, I would state from the testing I did so far, the speed of the 10bii+ is pretty much on par with the 12c (two-battery edition) and the 30b. I also worked some of the examples with other finance calculators (10bii, 12c, 17bii+, 30b) just to see if the calculators have consistent answers. Hewlett Packard finally utilized the keyboard to its fullest, adding many functions such as depreciation, probability distribution calculations, bonds, expanded statistic capabilities, and depreciation just to name a few.įor this review, I have worked out all the examples prescribed in the manual provided. ![]() The HP 10bii+ is a substantial upgrade to the HP 10bii. This is the review of the Hewlett Packard HP 10bii+ financial calculator.
