Using Reverse Polish Notation (RPN)

Calculator supports Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), which lets you enter complex equations without parentheses.

To use RPN:

To enter RPN mode, choose View > RPN Mode.

The stack is shown in Calculator’s display, the equal (=) button becomes the Enter button, and four buttons appear that let you manipulate numbers on the stack.

To swap the bottom two numbers on the stack, click Exchange Registers. (It’s labeled “x <-> y.”)

To move the most recently entered number up and down the stack, click Roll Up and Roll Down. (They’re labeled R-Up Arrow and R-Down Arrow.)

To remove the bottom number from the stack, click Drop.
