Description


The STKPOP command clears current stack and replaces it with a snapshot recalled from the top of the Undo stack. Subsequently the snapshot is removed from the Undo stack and all remaining snapshots drop one place.

The command has little utility in interactive mode, since each time a command is typed and XEQted a snapshot of the stack is already pushed on the Undo stack: the only effect of STKPOP would be to overwrite the current stack with a snapshot of itself.

Compatibility


This command is new in newRPL and does not exist in userRPL.

Usage


The following program

« 123
  456
  789
  STKPUSH
  CLEAR
  999
  STKPOP
»

creates the following stack (before STKPOP is executed):

1:                           999
……………………………………………………………………………………

The effect of STKPOP is to replace it with

 
3:                           123
2:                           456
1:                           789
