Re: Parsing timestamps?

Stack jugglery means wasting CPU cycles for
moving the bytes around - it's contrproductive.
Variables have been invented to be used. They're
useful, if you didn't notice, or if they didn't
tell you that in your college, or wherever.

Have you looked at my Roman digits?
There are two stack words DUP used in whole, meaning that you
use a stack item twice.
That is in a word `_row that isn't even essential to the whole
exercise.

Not bad indeed.

The stack shuffling is probably a sign of bad code.

Yes, I agree - so although I don't 'detest'
these words (nor moving bytes around when needed),
when I see too many of them accumulating, I simply
look for a cleaner, more comprehensible and manageable
solution.
'+' does something useful. It produces a sum.
'SWAP' merely changes the order of two subsequent
bytes.
