It seems to me that the requirement that one "shows the changes in the stack as each individual token is processed as a table" is entirely extraneous to the core task of parsing and calculating RPN expressions.

It seems to me that the requirement that one "shows the changes in the stack as each individual token is processed as a table" is entirely extraneous to the core task of parsing and calculating RPN expressions. I think the inclusion of this kind of extraneous printing requirement goes against the principle mission of Rosetta code. For reasons outlined in [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Extraneous Printing Requirements in Tasks]], I think we should make this requirement optional. If no one objects after several days, I will make this minor change. --[[User:Abathologist|Abathologist]] ([[User talk:Abathologist|talk]]) 04:09, 18 September 2016 (UTC) |

:: Thanks for pointing out my linking error. I have corrected it. (Funny that you'd think I was making it up rather than messing up the link!) I elaborate my reasoning pretty extensively on the linked page, and I'd be happy to add further details or clarifications here! Please ask if you have any questions! Either way, I look forward to your feedback. --[[User:Abathologist|Abathologist]] ([[User talk:Abathologist|talk]]) 09:59, 20 September 2016 (UTC) |
