Chain Calculations in RPN Mode

In RPN mode, the automatic lifting and dropping of the stack's contents let you retain intermediate results without storing or reentering them, and without using parentheses.

Work from the Parentheses Out

For example, evaluate (12 + 3) ⋅ 7.

If you were working out this problem on paper, you would first calculate the

intermediate result of (12 + 3) ...

(12 + 3) = 1 5

… then you would multiply the intermediate result by 7:

(15) ⋅ 7 = 105

Evaluate the expression in the same way on the HP 35s, starting inside the parentheses.

Keys:Display:Description:

  Calculates the intermediate result first.

You don't need to press to save this intermediate result before proceeding; since it is a calculated result, it is saved automatically.
