A computing system using a syntactic device for chain calculations with displaying an intermediate result to monitor the progress of the calculation is provided. In one embodiment, if an operator wants to take sine of a result of calculations, the operator needs only type "SIN( )" to obtain the answer. The empty parenthesis dilimits a null subexpression, which the computing system, using the syntectic device, interprets as the result function.
