On the TI
.
83 you can enter and use several types of data,
including real and complex numbers, matrices, lists,
functions, stat plots, graph databases, graph pictures, and
strings.
The TI
.
83 uses assigned names for variables and other
items saved in memory. For lists, you also can create your
own five-character names.

•
You can create as many list names as memory will allow
(Chapter 11).
•
Programs have user-defined names and share memory
with variables (Chapter 16).
•
From the home screen or from a program, you can store
to matrices (Chapter 10), lists (Chapter 11), strings
(Chapter 15), system variables such as
Xmax
(Chapter
1),
TblStart
(Chapter 7), and all
Y=
functions (Chapters
3, 4, 5, and 6).
•
From an editor, you can store to matrices, lists, and
Y=
functions (Chapter 3).
•
From the home screen, a program, or an editor, you can
store a value to a matrix element or a list element.
•
You can use
DRAW STO
menu items to store and recall
graph databases and pictures (Chapter 8).
