    If you're already given an equation and a specific point, what's the point of making a program for it? You could easily get the same result simply by computing 5×2.

    Even if it were a case of more complicated equations, you can easily set a variable to a value and use that in your computations. For example, say you wanted to find y, where y = x² + 5x − 2 at x = 6. You could just do directly on the home screen:

    6→X:X²+5X−2

    which would yield 64.

    it most programming langs, it would work like:

    int x = 2; int y = 5*x; //or

    var x = 2; var y = 5*x
