Would you humor me with an example of what you mean by "thinking on the
fly"? Either I'm not understanding you or we think differently.
I think I understand the algabraic copying.
I think that this mainly comes from not having to
worry about
parentheses with RPN. Moving things around on the stack when having
to rearrange is easier than having to move things in and out of
registers.
I'm not following.
With my limited understanding of RPN, I would not currently dare alter
the stack. Perhaps that's part of why I find RPN to be more of a
computational burden in needing to rearrange the equation to align with
stack order.
