HP Prime RPN Mode Basics

[@gregorspv]

I could have sworn that CDF used to be able to guess the number of arguments and it just stopped working all of a sudden. I would have never guessed that you need to specify the number of arguments that way. Thank you!

[@jlarkin555]

Thank you for this tutorial! Long time 28S user just looking for where the basic functions reside.

[@jac3107]

Very good. In the example of 24^2, "ENTER" can be omitted: 24 X^2, and the result (576) will be put in stack level 1, that should work with all the one-argument functions. Thank you for the video.

[@AthenianStranger]

Another amazing concise tutorial!

[@peterwinkelmann6681]

4 enter 5 x^y works as 4 enter 5 y^x in RPN Mode (what is usefull but there is no note for this, not even in the manual)

[@markdstump]

I owned the 11C, 48SX, 48GX, and 49G+ I loved loved loved the 11c and 48GX! I have the 48GX (favorite) on my phone and iPad. Now I have this on my PC :D (Okay, this is my first day with the Prime, so we'll see).

[@jhenrique23]

good job, direct and clear!

[@georgelewis9127]

Each line of the stack is called a REGISTER, not a stack.

[@crhaeger]

Good job Eddie. Very clear.

[@Chrls5]

You can also put both arguments in the same edit line, so 5 space 3 plus, gives 8, so you don't press enter on each argument

[@azxtra8381]

Awesome video. Thanks.

[@marc5278]

Can you programming it as you normally do in the old HP48GX? (pure RPN)

[@theedspage]

Unfortunately no. The programming module of the Prime is similar to the HP 38g and 39g series.

[@godzillazumagod9146]

I always use rpn.

[@josemesquita603]

excellent explanation, thank you!

[@theedspage]

:) I will have part 2 - which has more of the advanced commands up today (knock on wood).

[@charlynovnov]

Is the RPN on the HP Prime the same as in the 48/49/50 series ? I heard on several forums that it' a downgrade from the previous RPN calculators ...

[@theedspage]

+mustapha DAOUDI Unfortunately (for now) the RPN is as complete as the 48/49/50 series in my opinion.

[@JorgeRui]

Do you think is the same or NOT the same ?

[@powertube5671]

Thank you.

[@ultrametric9317]

You need not press ENTER to do one-argument functions. They work exactly as in algebraic mode.

[@DennisMathias]

Why would comma mean 'swap'? Crazy.

[@LarsBohr5]

If you look closely at the comma key you will see that it has swap arrows as the shift function.

[@sammichael2022]

It doesn't. There is a swap sign on the same key.

[@DJMARCOAV1]

thanks

[@godzillazumagod9146]

So useful it is not put on the keys. Other hps do.

[@RetelTulio]

Cos pi=0.998497149864 on all of my calculators including HP Prime handheld. But I get the same result as you (-1) on the HP Prime Emulator.

[@RetelTulio]

Got you. I can see now what's going on. I don't understand the math behind it yet, but at least everything is OK with the calculator, Thanks Dirk Dresia

[@Ambassador_Kobi]

+Retel Tulio You need to set your calculator to Radians instead of Degrees.

[@RetelTulio]

Jurgen Kobierczynski Yes, I've got it. Thank you.

[@michelpare1975]

What an evolution ... 1) no 1/X function ... have ever been an engineer .... that not good 2) clear characters on button ... hardly visible .... My HP-22S is damage ... but HP prime is not the replacement .. buying an old HP22S will be a better option than HP prime

[@tdumnxy]

1) is Shift ➗ 2) very clear! HP Prime is very good! From long time HP user (HP 45, HP 65 HP 41C & a promo gift HP 12) edit. How could I have forgotten... and an HP 28S
