Logic comments: | Pseudo RPN notation. To add 3+5 you must type 3 +ENTER 5 +ENTER. To subtract 8-5 type 8 +ENTER 5 -. There is no constant and no memory. Overflow is shown with all zeroes and decimal points on and is unrecoverable. There is no -0 bug but it has the decimal point ghost behavior: 2.25 + 3.75 gives 6.00 instead 6. This calculator shows the date and the time, but there is no capability for calculations with them. Date is shown in the format "month-day", without the year. Month and day changes automatically, but there is no "February 29", so you must correct it manually every 4 years! The On/Off switch in Off position is to turn off the display, not the whole machine, so the date, time, timer and the alarm will continue running. |
