HP Prime EVAL function question
#1

Suppose I want to put a function call into a string and call it later. How do I do that?

For instance, if I try:

    EVAL("SIN(30)")
all I get is:
    "SIN(30)"
How do I get it to actually evaluate the string?

Ok, found the answer to my own question!

You must use the single quotes:

   EVAL('SIN(30)')  ==>   .5

You may have been thinking of:

EXPR("SIN(30)");

which is another way to do it.
