    Calculator
In summary: Then your answer will be 2.Then you should look for the handling code when the enter button is pressed. That is where the calculation should be happening. If nothing is happening, it could be because the code is not implemented correctly or there is a logical error causing the program to not execute the calculation.

I wouldn't know the first thing about java. But I do know that RPN calculators do not have an equals sign. They do not use an equals sign; it has no part to play in their operation. So if everything else works for your calculator, except the equals sign, then perhaps you are worrying unnecessarily?

Taking what NascentOxygen said into account, if all you did was press =, what did you expect to happen?

Instead of an = button, you should have an Enter button. With an RPN calculator, to add 5 and 3, you would do this:
Click 5
Click Enter
Click 3
Click +

The result should be 8.

I do have enter button but when i press it nothing happens

It sounds like you are not familiar with the code you are using.

To add two numbers, type these 4 keypresses:
5
enter
2
+

I know how RPN calculator works but the problem is when I put numbers and press enter I don't get any result. thanks

What is supposed to happen when you press enter? And by that, I mean, what part of the code should you be looking at? Since this is code that you wrote, you should have some idea of how the pieces fit together.

Because you have it commented out.

To subtract two numbers it should be like this
7
enter
1
-

Yes.
 

Related to Why Does the Equal Button Not Work on My RPN Calculator?

1. What is a stack RPN calculator?

A stack RPN calculator is a type of calculator that uses a stack data structure to store and manipulate operands and operators in order to perform mathematical calculations. RPN stands for Reverse Polish Notation, which is a way of representing mathematical expressions without the use of parentheses.

2. Why do I need to fix my stack RPN calculator codes?

If your stack RPN calculator codes are not working properly, it could result in incorrect calculations or errors. Fixing the codes will ensure that your calculator functions correctly and produces accurate results.

3. What are some common issues that may cause errors in stack RPN calculator codes?

Some common issues that may cause errors in stack RPN calculator codes include incorrect use of stack operations, incorrect placement of operands and operators, and not properly handling edge cases such as dividing by zero.

4. How do I fix my stack RPN calculator codes?

To fix your stack RPN calculator codes, you will need to carefully review and debug your code to identify and correct any errors. This may involve checking for syntax errors, logic errors, and implementing proper error handling.

5. Are there any resources available to help me fix my stack RPN calculator codes?

Yes, there are many resources available to help you fix your stack RPN calculator codes. These include online tutorials, forums, and programming communities where you can ask for help and advice. Additionally, there are plenty of books and courses on programming and data structures that can provide valuable information on fixing coding errors.
