### 6. Comments on specific functions

### 6.1 Mod

Give the remainder of dividing the display number by the next input number.

### 6.2 Inv Mod

Integer divison of the display number by the next input number.

### 6.3 %

Interpret the final operation carried out in the current calculation as follows:

- The function of the % key is similar to the one found on some CASIO calculators:
- If the final operator is + give the percentage increase the result is over the second operand.
- If the final operator is - give the percentage decrease the result is over the second operand.
- If the final operator is * give the right operand as a percentage of the left operand.
- If the final operator is / or Mod, give the left operand as a percentage of the right operand.
- If the final operator is x**y give the left operand raised to the power of the (right operand / 100).
- In all other cases the % key gives identical results to the = key.

#### Examples

    Type:             45 / 55 %
    Answer Displayed: 81.8181...
    Explanation:      45 is 81.81...percent of 55

    Type:             11 + 89 %
    Answer Displayed: 112.35..
    Explanation:      89 + 11 = 100 and  100 is 112.35 percent of 89.

### 6.4 Lsh (Rsh)

Left (right) shift the n times, where n is the next input number. You get Rsh (right shift) by pressing INV Lsh.
