RE: Is RPN still relevant?
I still use and appreciate the elegance of the RPN calculators, although I admit to also using several algebraics, as well.
And it still catches students by surprise, when I can use an RPN calculator to calculate 4 resistors in parallel with 8 keystrokes (not counting digits). This was my explanation as to why I frequently preferred RPN; "This is your father's HP. This is the calculator of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as algebraic. An elegant tool, for a more... civilized age." — With apologies to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: A New Hope mike ENTER > = |
