If it's 2+2 I don't care whether I type 2+2 or 2 2 +. But for long complex equations, give me RPN every time. All my calculators are set to RPN mode (if it doesn't have RPN mode, I'm not using it).
I know it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do it is a huge advantage. Particularly great for university tests where speed matters.
- sliken 3y agoIndeed, great for speed and correctness. It also makes awesome use of a multiline display, even an extra 3 lines to see the stack is a game changer. Without RPN I just use the extra area for graphing. It's especially useful for unit conversions, since with prefix you never see the intermediate values.
