The answer.
The simple, old-fashioned math notation helps explain how to
use your calculator. Both numbers are always positioned in the
stack in the natural order first; then the operation is executed
when the function key is pressed. There are no exceptions to
this rule. Subtraction, multiplication, and division work the
same way. In each case, the data must be in the proper position
before the operation can be performed.
