AB Soft 101 manual Single Variables, Store Key and Deleting Variables

3. Single Variables

In Algebra we learn that no symbol between variables (letters) means multiplication. The ClassPad also thinks this way when we use its single variables (bolder letters). Sometimes, however, we want to define a variable with more than one letter. For example, let width = length – 12. To do this, we can use letters from the regular keyboard.

b.Click the 9or ) tab

c.Click the VAR button (along the bottom).

d.Input ab and press EXE *Notice the result

e.Click the 0tab
