Hello.
I want to use calc in org src-blocks. But it doesnt always work.
Here is an example that does work:
#+BEGIN_SRC calc
3
2
'+
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
6
Here is another example where it doesn't work:
#+BEGIN_SRC calc
[3 2]
[2 10]
'+
#+END_SRC
This doesn't work at all. It tells me "Invalid data object encoutered".
Can someone please tell me how to make the second exaple work?
And also, how do I assign a value to a variable maybe someone knows?
Thanks
Jenia

I've usually found that calc in org babel works best in algebraic mode
as opposed to stack mode:

Try
#+BEGIN_SRC calc
[3,2] + [2,10]
#+END_SRC
instead. Stack mode is best for interactive use but really has few
benefits for non-interactive use, in my experience. And I say this as a
fervent HP calculator user for <mumble> decades... :-)
