I'm talking about pretty small day to day stuff I thought was well known in the RPN/RPL debate:

Math: 2+2
RPN: [2] [ENTER] [+]
RPL: [2] [ENTER] [ENTER] [+]

Math: 2*Sin(2)
RPN: [2] [ENTER] [SIN] [*]
RPL: [2] [ENTER] [ENTER] [SIN] [*]

Quote:but DUP requires one fewer keystroke if you want to duplicate the number in X in order to start a new calculation with it, while keeping the old number as well, and that is something I do all the time.

Interesting! I thought with a calculator like the 42 where every function auto-terminates entry, there was no advantage to terminating entry without duplication. I don't track exactly what you're saying, but you've got me intrigued. Can you provide a keystroke example like above where the RPL-style [ENTER] behavior has less keystrokes?
