Type Command
Parallel list processing Group 2
Affected by flags -28 RPL / RPN stack mode
-29 RPN stack depth

Description


The DROP command deletes the object on the top of the stack, shifting the remaining ones by one level.

When the stack is in RPN mode DROP fills immediately the bottom-most level of the stack (level 4 or level 8, depending on the selected stack depth) with the value it stored before the shift happened.

Compatibility


This command is only partially compatible with userRPL.

In particular:

  • In userRPL RPN stack mode is not supported.

Usage


3:            "This is a string"
2:               { 'X' 'Y' 'Z' }
1:                           1_m
