Strange behaviour of ANS ?

RE: Strange behaviour of ANS ?
Hello,

Cas and Home are kind of like 2 calculators in one. CAS is a separate program, self sufficient and with its own ways of doing things, which are adapted to its purpose (symbolic calculations).
In the same way, Home is also self sufficient , with its own way of doing things...

However, we recognize that sometimes, a user will need to work cross domain, which is why Home and CAS were made to "communicate". But this communication is, like all communications, imperfect, with imperfections being caused by various reasons ranging from incompatibility of purpose, incompatibly of implementation, incompatibility due to prior/unchangeable decision, all the way down to we have not had time to actually make that work.

Ans is problematic because some CAS objects are NOT representable in Home and vice-versa. This makes changing the Ans an incompatibility of implementation, which are relatively hard to fix.
Note that you should always be able to specify which Ans to use by doing CAS.Ans and num.Ans

Although I work for the HP calculator group, the views and opinions I post here are my own. I do not speak for HP.
