RPN: The Automatic Memory Stack
Using a Number Twice in a Row
You can use the replicating feature of
to other advantages. To add a
number to itself, press
.
Filling the stack with a constant
The replicating effect of
together with the replicating effect of stack drop
(from T into Z) allows you to fill the stack with a numeric constant for calculations.
Example:
Given bacterial culture with a constant growth rate of 50% per day, how large
would a population of 100 be at the end of 3 days?
would a population of 100 be at the end of 3 days?

How CLEAR x Works
Clearing the X–register puts a zero in the X–register. The next number you key in
(or recall) writes over this zero.

There are three ways to clear the contents of the X–register, that is, to clear x:
1. Press
