Understood. I know I'll definitely be using this if/when it's implemented
Keep up the good work, Kerm! I'm quite excited to start using these

Well, since it has to be a token thing, it can be something like token(#,{value}) to push, and token(#+1) to pop to Ans. Therefore, you could put Ans as {value}, but you could equally use 3 or -9.1204 instead, which would leave Ans intact until you popped, right?
Sounds great to me. While you're at it, you could just make lots of stack stuff, like peek, swap, toss (tacos), etc.
Edit: Alternatively, which would speed things up a lot, I could hijack one of the string variables or something.

Me! I would much appreciate it, even if its just a separate program
I think that I probably will indeed implement it as sum(14,N) and sum(15); I just want to make sure that other people will use it. Any takers?
wait... wouldn't it be sum(14) and sum(15). Push whatever is in answer at the time, and pop answer?

I might use something like that.

Oh, I suppose so, I was thinking that you could specify the Ans to push, like either sum(14,Ans) or sum(14,5.6X^2) so that you wouldn't necessarily be forced to push Ans itself. Would your method be better, or what I was thinking, in terms of speed and size and flexibility?
@EpicFail: aight, good to know, thanks.
idk, but the way I would use it, it would push the answer that is already there when the command is called. What about this: if you use "sum(14)" it will push the ans that is currently in place, and "sum(14,value)" would push the value. One last thing, would it push lists too?

I like the flexibility of push(whatever). Presumably we could use variables and whatnot as well? Like, could I push(A)? push([A])?! That would be neat.

Ah, that's a good idea, differentiate based on the number of arguments to sum(14).
@Both Merthsoft and Player, regarding pushable types: Interesting, I wonder what I'd have to support? I guess lists, strings, reals, complexes, matrices? Is that enough?

Anything that Ans can be, I'd assume. That list sounds conclusive.
another idea, maybe move it all to sum(14) but have it sum(14,1 push Ans, sum(14,1,value push the value, and sum(14,2 return the data type that was last pushed. But that could be left out if you leave the programmer to remember what they pushed

sum(14, 1) isn't saving you anything over sum(14, Ans), so it might as well just be sum(14, val). As for getting the data type, I don't really see that as being useful, so long as you're paying attention to what you're pushing. Maybe if your program is doing something depending on what's on top of the stack, and so needs to check it, but you could just push a flag for the same effect.
I'd like to keep it as simple as possible, so I think sum(14,#) to push #, and sum(15) to pop Ans will be good enough for me. I'm not going to bother trying to push and pop things like Y equations, Pics, GDBs, and all those other annoying data types, agree?

I agree, but if you can pop ans, then doesn't that mean you can pop pics, GBDs, ect...?

That makes sense.

That sounds great to me.

1) Reals [no func]
2) Complexes [no func]
3) Real Lists [CreateTRList]
4) Complex Lists [CreateTCList]
5) Strings [CreateTempString]
6) Real Matrices [CreateTRMat]
could you set it up so that if the second argument in sum(14) is blank that it will default to pushing Ans?
