The first element has to be popped and stored in a register before it can access the second. There are other automata which use random access memory instead of a stack. | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 19:12 | comment | added | Jason Goemaat | Why do you need a register at all? If the processor can perform an operation on 1 register + 1 value on stack, why can't it perform an operation on 2 values on stack? | |
