Calculation Stacks
This calculator uses memory areas, called "stacks", to
temporarily store numeric value (numbers) and
commands (+ – x ...) according to their precedence
during calculations.
The numeric stack has 10 levels and the command stack
has 24 levels. A stack error [Stack ERROR] occurs
whenever you try to perform a calculation that exceeds
the capacity of stacks.
Calculations are performed in sequence according to
"Order of Operations". After the calculation is performed,
the stored stack values will be released.
