Expressions and Functions
You can program some values as expressions. Parentheses enclose 
expressions. The 3500i displays an error message if the expression is 
incorrectly entered. Expressions follow the standard mathematics 
order of operations (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction).
An expression must contain an operator or use a function.
