Reverse Polish Notation

To all the users of this LibreCAD forum, greetings

I like Reverse Polish Notation and wonder if the calculator function in the command line has the ability to work as a RPN calculator. Based on what I've read in the manuals so far, it doesn't appear that the authors, creators of LebreCAD provided for a RPN function. If there is a way to use RPN, would someone please point that out.

Thank you and respectfully yours, Librecadni10

Welcome Librecadni10!

LibreCAD uses muparser library to evaluate all inputs.
And muparser does not support RPN.

There is muparseSSE for RPN support, but this is not the library implemented in LibreCAD.

So, I'm afraid to say, that you have to use infix notation in LibreCAD.

LordofBikes,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I rather expected that RPN isn't supported, it would be a nice addition, however I'd wonder how many folks would use a RPN calculator.

Thank you and respectfully yours, Librecadni10

Probably the same who still code in Cobol, or understand 0C7 and 0CB abends...

Cheers,

Re: Reverse Polish Notation

Ron,

Thank you for your reply. I'm not a person who codes at all, let lone someone who still codes in Cobol, or understand 0C7 and 0CB abends... as for 0C7 and 0CB, I guess that the C stands for Cobol but I wouldn't know without doing a web search.

Thank you and respectfully yours, Librecadni10

Those were error messages signalling an ABnormal END to a programme compilation, on IBM mainframes.

OC7 for a data overflow, and OCB for a division by zero IIRC, was a loong time ago...

Cheers,

Ron.
