Mathematical Calculations

When an operation is performed on the stack, addition
(
+
)
for instance, the calculator "pops" or moves the two numbers
from the bottom levels (Levels 1 and 2) out of the stack, performs the operation, and "pushes" the results back into the stack.
With the numbers entered into the stack as shown in Figure 3, pressing
+
changes the stack as shown in Figure 4. Note
that when the numbers are "popped" out to add 23 and 41, Level 4 of the stack remains unchanged.
