Yesterday was a good hp day for me. My first hp calc since I lost my 15c 21 years ago arrived (35s) along with a 12c for my wife (an economics professor, this would be her first brush with RPN). To top it all, the broken 41CV that I got for free from a friend the other day sprang to life after some battery corrosion cleaning and an unconventional workaround the broken bottom screw posts.
Anyway, I was playing with the 35s and noticed the following odd behaviour: I tried to input -1/3 i -1/3 by typing ". 1 . 3 CHS i . 1 . 3 CHS ENTER". What I got back was "0.3333i-0.3333" instead of "-0.3333i-0.3333"!
What gives?
Has this been discussed before?
