How do I change the decimal answer settings?

To change the decimal answer settings, follow these steps:

      1. Select Mode Settings icon  or press the j key.
      2. Change the decimal answer setting between AUTO and DECIMAL.

DECIMAL forces all output to display as decimal.

AUTO will give fraction outputs when a fraction number type is detected and decimal if a value is irrational or fraction number type is not detected.

Example: The division 4 ÷ 3 will return 1.3333333 in AUTO mode. The toggle cursor will display, and the fraction \(\frac{4}{3} \) will display if toggle key ^ is pressed.
