Bob. I think it all stems from the fact that operators (like "plus") take two operands. Therefore if you evaluate an expression efficiently, using PEMDOS and a little analysis, you are never in a position where four pieces
of data have to be remembered. So you are always working with an intermediate result and a maximum of two operands that are in need of being, er, operated on. When the operator actually does that thing, the expression fragment you are working on collapses, slightly, and makes room for the next stage. Three registers, one for the intermediate, and two for the operands. I think. Craig In a message dated 10/15/10 3:02:25 PM, b...@twft.com writes: > Really? I never knew that. Cool.
