17 is written over
the 11 in X.
17 and 11 are added to-
gether and the rest of the
stack drops. 16 dropsto Z
and is also duplicated in
T. 30 and 28 are ready to
be added.
30 and 28 are added to-
gether and the stack drops
again. Now 16 and 58 are
ready to be added.
16 and 58 are added to-
getherforthe final answer
and the stack continues to
drop.
The same dropping action also occurs with @, E3 and £ . The number
in T is duplicated in T and drops to Z, the number in Z drops to Y,
and the numbersin the Y and X combine to give the answer, which
is visible in the X-register.
This automatic lift and drop ofthe stack give you tremendous comput-
Ing power, since you can retain and position intermediate results in
long calculations without the necessity of reentering the numbers.
