says person who is unable to provide any evidence of such 🙄 guess what happens when you press the +/= followed by an x, it evaluates it and puts it on the stack 🙄
Four-function calculators have an accumulator
OMG. same same - it’s a one value stack 🤣🤣🤣
RPN still does not have brackets
In the foreground. They are still being added in the background
It hasn’t magically sprouted them since I had to introduce you to the concept
Which you didn’t, and they’ve always been there, just like the unwritten + sign in 3-2
Computers mostly reduce bracketed notation to RPN
No they don’t. They use the stack when parsing the expression, represented on paper with a binary tree
2 2 3 + / doesn’t need anything “treated as though in brackets”
Yes it does. It treats it as (2+3)/2 🙄
unless you’re trying to explain it to a child who stubbornly insists there is only one way to do math
So you’re admitting to being a child. That explains a lot 🤣🤣🤣
It treats it as 2 2 3 + /. Push push push pop pop. There is no “background.” These are hardware functions.
Do you think Spanish speakers secretly think in English? I don’t believe you understand there are multiple ways to do things. As if binary multiplication must be doing decimal multiplication “behind the scenes.”
Did you know Russian has no indefinite articles? They’re not implicit. They’re just not there. It’s why stereotypical moose-and-squirrel impressions say things like “have nice day.”
In exactly the same way, RPN doesn’t have implicit brackets, because it does not need brackets, period. It can equivalently express the operations of an algebraic equation which has brackets, but that doesn’t mean it has or uses or needs or implies those brackets. They’re just not there. Getting the right answer does not require secret translation to the one notation you understand.
How would you treat someone who insists brackets don’t exist, because they’re only implicitly representing a stack? Like, you can write (2+3)/2, but that’s only doing 2 2 3 + /. Obviously brackets aren’t real.
The answer to 2 2 3 + / does not involve brackets. Brackets aren’t real. Don’t you know all equations are secretly RPN, in the background? There’s only a stack, and the rules for a stack are that brackets do not work.

Yep, now you’re getting it! 😂

That’s not how a fucking stack works.
Yep, it treats it as (2+3)/2, unless you’re saying it gets a different answer to that?? 🤣🤣🤣
oh, look what came out of those first pops, 2+3, the part that is implicitly in brackets 😂
So you are saying it gets a different answer to (2+3)/2?? 🤣🤣🤣
And software controls what is happening with the hardware. pop is a software command to the hardware. I teach Computer Science as well 😂
says person who doesn’t understand that there is only one set of order of operations rules 🙄
Other way around dude
It is when you can only store one thing on it! 😂 I’ll take that as an admission you were wrong all along then

It does if you want to get the answer to (2+3)/2 and not 2+3/2
There you go. Glad you finally worked it out 😂
says person who just said it does 🙄
Just like the + is “not there” in 3-2 🙄
No, it requires obeying the rules 🙄

(2+3)/2
No they aren’t liar. They are broken down into binary trees. I teach Computer Science as well dude.
Here’s the binary tree for 2 2 3 + /
Here’s the binary tree for (2+3)/2
Oh look! it’s the exact same tree! Who woulda thought. Oh yeah, me - I’ve only been telling you that the whole damn time 😂
Yep, that’s where things in brackets get put alright - see binary tree above😂
Except I just proved they do 😂
What is this irrelevant equation? We’re talking about 2 2 3 + /. There’s no tree, just a stack. Do you not know what words mean?
You don’t know how to read infix notation?? THAT explains a LOT! 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, exact same equation - see the binary tree 🙄
Ok, so now you’re admitting to not knowing how programming works either. Got it.
You clearly don’t! 🤣🤣🤣
