RPN Calculator

Introduction

RPN Calculator uses Reverse Polish Notation. RPN uses a stack of numbers and does not require parentheses. Functions and operators are evaluated/applied as they are entered into the stack.

To enter number into stack, type number using device or on-screen keyboard. Press [OK] to enter number to stack.

To perform an operation, press operation's button. The function or operator is applied immediately.

Operations are applied to most recent number(s) added into stack. If there are not enough numbers, operation is not performed and no error occurs.

Examples

• 6+2×3 = ?
  [2] [OK] [3] [×] [6] [+] = 12
• sin(π/3+2π*32) = ?
  [π] [3] [÷] [2] [π] [32] [×] [×] [+] [sinr] = 0.8660254037844377
• nCr(10,3) = ?
  [10] [OK] [3] [nCr] = 120
• 3√-27 = ?
  [3] [OK] [2][7] [-] [ⁿ√] = -3
