Reading one or two arguments

[HillyBoy]

You know what is really funny?
If you take a complex in the notation (a,b) and make it polar, you get the notation (abs<arg), which is very useful. Now if you try to edit this stack entry it shows up on the command line in that same notation, so far so good, still a happy user. Then when you press ENTER you get a syntax-error as the Prime only accepts polar complex objects in the notation (abs,<arg), so with a comma between "abs" and "<". Once this is corrected and ENTER pressed it shows on the stack as before without a comma, so as (abs<arg).

The other funny thing is when using Ans(N) it is possible to read stack entries, again very useful. The reverse is possible as well, so you can assign a value to Ans(1), Ans(2), Ans(3), etc. But instead of what you would expect, only Ans(1) is being modified. Nice inconsistent behaviour that is.

Now I am only working with the Prime for one week now and only been busy with these complex numbers, so I wonder how many other inconsistencies this marvel of ignorance contains.

While searching for answers I found this very interesting thread: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Tablets-an...-p/5046879

It dates back from 2014 and nothing seems to have happened with these great suggestions...
