HP Prime: Recommendation for future RPN Program Mode
#1

What I'd love to see in one of the next revs: basically the << >> programming of the HP RPN calculators. Have a command that starts RPN programming mode, then simulate the stack operations in the program:

EXPORT NORM
BEGIN

RPNMODE

PUSH * SWAP PUSH * + SQRT

END

Above would take two items on the stack, multiply each by itself (in effect squaring each), adding them together, then taking the square root.

That's RPL. Your example would look as follows in true RPN:
x^2
x<->y
x^2
+
SQRT
RTN
or (without an x^2 function):
ENTER
*
x<->y
ENTER
*
+
SQRT
RTN
IMHO, this way of programming is far easier to read. YMMV.

That would be cool to have a keystroke programming language in a graphing calculator.

Yes, I am playing catch up on this forum.

#4

That would work for me too...
