As a big RPN and HP calc fan forever, and a recent Forth fan, I was a bit confused by my initial foray into RPL. It seemed like it allow infix notation and that threw me of at first glance.
Did I bail to soon?
I am a big stack machine convert and have had an HP RPN calc since 12.
- whartung 3y agoThe HP-48 certainly could do infix style calculations and formulas (the solvers work with these). But from the prompt it’s not particularly natural. Algebraic entry is a second class citizen. But do look at RPL. Anything that lets you push anonymous functions onto the stack can’t be all bad.
