It lets you "speak" to your calculator with total consistency, because it lets you load data into a 4-Register Stack. This means: (1) you always enter and process your data the same way, no matter what your problem; (2) you don't have to re-enter data; (3) you can see all intermediate data anytime. Our HP-45 is one of two pre-programmed scientific pocket-sized computer calculators with this key. That's one reason it's the most pow- erful pre-programmed pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Here are three of many others: 1. It's pre-programmed to handle 44 arithmetic, trigonometric and logarithmic functions and data manipulation operations beyond the basic four (+, -, x, --). 2. It lets you store nine constants in its rine Addressable Memory Registers, and it gives you a "Last X" Register for error correction or multiple operations on the same number. 3. It displays up to 10 significant digits in either fixed-decimal or scientific notation and automatically positions the decimal point through- out its 200-decade range. Our HP-35 is the other. It handles 22 functions, has one Addressable Memory Register and also displays up to 10 digits in either fixed-decimal or scientific notation. It's the second most powerful pre-programmed pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Both of these exceptional instruments are on display now. If you're looking for unprecedented calculating capacity for your money, by all means see and test them.
