Re: Free42 Version 3

Yes. we, who wrote programs, managing all stack in mind, are dinosaurs (Hello Walter). It is hard to accept changing concepts of our most loved tools. For me, the great example is HP Prime. Great, powerful and useless. I cannot use this in everyday work, because it does not have the solidity of 48-5...

Re: Free42 Version 3

Maybe calculations can get by with eight levels but recursive function calls that put parameters on the stack will need many more than eight. This is not too hard to implement without unlimited stack. But there is a very powerful function which usually called MAP. With unlimited stack it becomes re...

Re: Free42 Version 3

This is debatable. Actually, we have shown with the WP34S that all real-world calculations can be done with just an 8-level stack at zero risk of stack overflow. We continue offering such a stack with the WP43S, keeping the benefits of RPN (automatic stack lift, top stack level repetition). Technic...
