k Single-character Variable Precautions
Your ClassPad supports the use of
single-character variables
, which are variables whose
names consist of a single character like “a” or “x”. Some ClassPad keys (x, y, Z
keypad keys, math (mth) soft keyboard X, Y, Z, [ keys, V key set keys, etc.) are
dedicated single-character variable name input keys. You cannot use such a key to input a
variable name that has more than one character.
For example, pressing the keypad keys x and y in succession is interpreted by the
ClassPad as the multiplication expression “x × y”, and not as the characters “xy”. In order to
input a variable name made up of two or more characters, use the alphabet (abc) keyboard.
For more information, see “Using Single-character Variables” on page 1-6-12.
k Creating a New Variable
The most common way to create a new variable is assigning a value or expression to the
applicable variable name. Use the variable assignment key (W) to assign data to a variable.
