Important Programming Notes

The following are some important things to keep in mind before putting serious time and effort into programming Visual RPN Calculator:

  • This is an early release of the programming functions on the calculator. Some things may not quite work as intended, and additional functionality will be added at a later time. If you are having issues with a bug or you feel that an additional feature should take priority, please contact the developer (see the about page).
  • If the calculator hangs up for some reason and requires a re-installation, any functions or constants that are saved in the Mem menu will be lost. Therefore it is highly recommended that important work be saved off using the "Save" feature in the main menu. Individual programs may be saved from the stack using Save/Entry, and the entire calculator state may be saved off using Save/All. Since save files are readable (they are just a bunch of calculator commands), it is possible to double check exactly what you saved off, and worse comes to worst there is always the option to read the file and cut and paste commands back into the calculator manually.
  • Although the developer of Visual RPN Calculator tries to put as much quality as he can into this app, this is a part time project done by one developer with limited resources. Therefore, please enjoy using the calculator at your own risk, have fun writing simple functions, and save complex, mission critical programs for well established industry standard languages like C#, Python, etc.
