necessity.
Many come equipped
with a memory storage
location on-board and
available on the keypad.
The [ STO ] and [ RCL ]
keys are the keys for
storing one element at a
time in memory.

Some scientific calculators use an
[M+] and [M-] as well, to operate
on elements stored in memory.
This function is handy if
you are adding or
subtracting from the value
stored in memory.
