The 50g will behave identical in this regard. I am not certain, but I suspect the 35s will behave in a similar fashion.I agree that it's not a bug but the 50g mimics this behavior only if exact mode is off. In exact mode, you can do math on the stack with arbitrary precision integers in RPN. To me, this is one of the off-putting things about the Prime right now: lack of RPN in CAS mode or, if you like, lack of arbitrary precision integer type in home mode. Really, the presence of the two modes feels like a kludge to me. - John |
