k Stacks
The unit employs memory blocks, called stacks , for storage of low priority values and
commands. There is a 10-level numeric value stack , a 26-level command stack , and a
10-level program subroutine stack . An error occurs if you perform a calculation so complex
that it exceeds the capacity of available numeric value stack or command stack space, or if
execution of a program subroutine exceeds the capacity of the subroutine stack.

Special Functions
# Calculations are performed according to
the priority sequence. Once a calculation is
executed, it is cleared from the stack.
# Storing a complex number takes up two numeric
value stack levels.
# Storing a two-byte function takes up two
command stack levels.
