of function names are assumed to be end-of-expression symbols.
Multiple expressions can be entered by delimiting them with end-of-
expression symbols. Each expression is evaluated.
(Examples)
100.0/2;200.0/2;300.0/2_ -> 50.0;100.0;150.0_
X350.0*3Y120.0/5;X20.0*3.5;_ -> X1050.0Y24.0;X70.0;_
Explanation

- Results of calculation
(1) The result of calculation with an integer value and an real value is
of real type.
(2) The result of calculation is converted into a character string in the
following range:
Integer type: -999999999 to 999999999
Real type: -999999999.0 to -0.000000001
0.0
0.000000001 to 999999999.0
