Viewing a Variable without Recalling It, Reviewing Variables in the VAR Catalog

Page 59 highlights

Viewing a Variable without Recalling It The | Š function shows you the contents of a variable without putting that number in the X-register. The display is labeled for the variable, such as: / )  In Fraction-display mode ({ ‹), part of the integer may be dropped. This will be indicated by "..." at the left end of the integer. To see the full mantissa, press | . The integer part is the portion to the left of the radix ( ) or 8 ). | Š is most often used in programming, but it is useful anytime you want to view a variable's value without affecting the contents of t he stack. To cancel the VIEW display, press b or ‡ once. Reviewing Variables in the VAR Catalog The { Y (memory) function provides information about memory: #  QQ8QQQ where nn,nnn is the number of bytes of available memory. Pressing the {#} menu key displays the catalog of variables. Pressing the {} menu key displays the catalog of programs. To review the values at any or all non-zero variables: 1. Press { Y {VAR}. 2. Press š or ™ to move the list and display the desired variable. (Note the ©ª annunciators, indicating that the š and ™ keys are active. If Fraction-display mode is active, cd indicator will not be turned on to indicate accuracy.) To see all the significant digits of a number displayed in the {#} catalog, press | . (If it is a binary number with more than 12 digits, use the ˜ and — keys to see the rest.) 3. To copy a displayed variable from the catalog to the X-register, press ‘. 4. To clear a variable to zero, press { c while it is displayed in the catalog. 5. Press ‡ to cancel the catalog. Storing Data into Variables 3-3

Viewing a Variable without Recalling It
The
function shows you the contents of a variable without putting that
number in the X–register. The display is labeled for the variable, such as:
In Fraction–display mode (
), part of the integer may be dropped. This
will be indicated by "…" at the left end of the integer.
To see the full mantissa, press
. The integer part is the portion to the
left of the radix (
or ).
is most often used in programming, but it is useful anytime you want to
view a variable's value without affecting the contents of the stack.
To cancel the VIEW display, press
or
once.
Reviewing Variables in the VAR Catalog
The
(
memory
) function provides information about memory:
where
nn,nnn
is the number of bytes of available memory.
Pressing the {
} menu key displays the catalog of variables.
Pressing the {
} menu key displays the catalog of programs.
To review the values at any or all non–zero variables:
1.
Press
{VAR}.
2.
Press
or
to move the list and display the desired variable. (Note
the
annunciators, indicating that the
and
keys are active. If
Fraction–display mode is active,
indicator will not be turned on to indicate
accuracy.)
To see all the significant digits of a number displayed in the {
} catalog,
press
. (If it is a binary number with more than 12 digits, use the
and
keys to see the rest.)
3.
To copy a displayed variable from the catalog to the X–register, press
.
4.
To clear a variable to zero, press
while it is displayed in the
catalog.
5.
Press
to cancel the catalog.
