The LAST X Register
The LAST X register is a companion to the stack: it holds the number that was

function is an operation that produces a result from another number or

z
returns this value into the
X–register.
This ability to retrieve the "last x" has two main uses:
1. Correcting errors.
2. Reusing a number in a calculation.
