RPN: The Automatic Memory Stack
2-3
The X and Y–Registers are in the Display
The X and Y–Registers are what you see
except
when a menu, a message, an
equation line ,or a program line is being displayed. You might have noticed that
several function names include an
x
or
y
.
This is no coincidence: these letters refer to the X– and Y–registers. For example,
raises ten to the power of the number in the X–register.
Clearing the X–Register
Pressing
(
)
always
clears the X–register to zero; it is also used to
program this instruction. The
key, in contrast, is context–sensitive. It either clears
or cancels the current display, depending on the situation: it acts like
1
(
) only when the X–register is displayed.
also acts like
(
) when the X–register is displayed
and
digit entry is terminated
(no cursor present).
Reviewing the Stack
R (Roll Down)
The
(roll down) key
lets you review the entire contents of the stack by
"rolling" the contents downward, one register at a time. You can see the numbers
as they roll through the
x
- and
y
-registers.
Suppose the stack is filled with 1, 2, 3, 4. (press
) Pressing
four times rolls the numbers
all the way around and back to where they started:
