MD42, firmware 3.4a: Question about stack / flag 30

Post by mcc »

Hi,

When doing

PI
PI
2

on the stack I get

3.14159...
3.14159...
2

(Pi abbreviated by me).

But when doing

PI
ENTER
2

on the stack I get

3.14159...
2


. When doing

ENTER

on an empty or filled stack
and then

FS? 30

I got

Yes

...so flag 30 remains set after ENTER.
Is it the way it is supposed to do?

Cheers
Meino

Correct.

See pages 46 and 276 of the HP-42S manual.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.
