HP 20S and HP 21S: RPN Arithmetic Simulator

HP 20S and HP 21S:  RPN Arithmetic Simulator

This program will allow the user to simulate RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) for five arithmetic functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation (power).  All operations take the form of enter Y, press [INPUT], enter X, [XEQ] (appropriate key).

Labels:
XEQ A:  Y + X
XEQ B:  Y – X
XEQ C:  Y * X
XEQ D:  Y/X
XEQ E:  Y^X
XEQ F:  “clears” the stack. 

The result shown in the display while the X value is left in the hidden display, which can be accessed by pressing [ LS ] (SWAP).

The key codes for the HP 20S and HP 21S are the same.

Example:

In the following examples, 8 will be stored in the hidden register.

7 + 8:  7, INPUT, 8, XEQ A.   Result: 15
7 – 8:  7, INPUT, 8, XEQ B.   Result: -1
7 * 8:  7, INPUT, 8, XEQ C.   Result: 56
7/8:  7, INPUT, 8, XEQ D.  Result: 0.375
7^8:  7, INPUT, 8, XEQ E.  Result:  5,764,801
