Abstract
In an electronic apparatus performing various calculations based on input data which are entered by pressing numeral keys and calculation keys and outputting results by moving a decimal point by a predetermined digit, there is provided means for judging, when a calculation result output key is operated, the presence or absence of a flag designating either a division calculation or a multiplication calculation and judging the calculation mode. Only when the calculation condition at the time when the calculation result output key is operated is at a first registration number state and the division flag is set, the calculation result is output by moving the decimal point by a predetermined digit. If the multiplication flag is set, the calculation result is output without moving the decimal point. With such an arrangement, in a so-called add-mode performing calculations and outputting calculated results by automatically moving decimal points, a function of performing a division by an identical number and moving the decimal point and a function of performing a multiplication by an identical number and not moving the decimal point, are realized.
