Hi,

Has anyone noticed that the int(x) funciton works fine in graphs, but
if you use it on the calculator screen to very, for example, a limit
problem as x approaches 0 on int(x)/x, you get the word floor next to
the function??

the Nspire has two functions, floor and ceiling. int(x) is the same as floor(x). Which one will be used on results depends on the priorities defined on the algorithms. Apparentely, floor is a more "primitive" function than int. (I would prefer it the other way around actually).

Cheers,
Nelson
