20 Chapter 1: Operating the TIN73 Storing Values to a Variable X You can store values or expressions that result in one value or lists to a one-letter variable or a system variable (types are listed below) to save for later use. Also, you can save a result for later use by storing Ans to a variable before you evaluate another expression. When an expression containing the name of a variable is evaluated, the value of the variable at that time is used. You can enter and use several types of data for variables, including real numbers, lists, functions, statistical plots, and graph pictures. Variable names cannot be the same as a name that is preassigned by the TIN73. These include built-in functions such as abs( , instructions such as Line( , and system variables such as Xmin.

Storing Values to a Variable
Storing Values to a Variable
X
You can store values or expressions that result in one value or
lists to a one-letter variable or a system variable (types are
listed below) to save for later use. Also, you can save a result
for later use by storing
Ans
to a variable before you evaluate
another expression.
When an expression containing the name of a variable is
evaluated, the value of the variable at that time is used. You
can enter and use several types of data for variables, including
real numbers, lists, functions, statistical plots, and graph
pictures.
Variable names cannot be the same as a name that is
preassigned by the TI
N
73. These include built-in functions
such as
abs(
, instructions such as
Line(
, and system variables
such as
Xmin
.
