Abstract
Abstract A compact electronic device having a calendar function wherein initial data for setting a plurality of specified dates and setting data for setting a plurality of specified dates based on the initial data are input by a key input section. Then, dates to be set as specified dates are calculated by a RAM, a control section and an operation circuit according to the input initial and setting data. The calculated dates are stored in a memory so that the plurality of specified dates may be set.
