minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 months agoHuh, it’s that buffer thing that I didn’t know about and isn’t mentioned in your link (maybe it’s Forth specific?), I use an RPN calculator app, but everything goes on the stack, so “This” would be on the bottom and be popped off last.

The stack doesn’t quite work like that. They would get added like this:
This > buffer
great, is, one > stack
Then, each + pulls the latest off the stack and operates.
First + would pull ‘one’ as it’s the most recent on the stack.

Did Randall get this one wrong?
