IVariable Data Types

ClassPad variables support a number of data types. The type of data assigned to a variable is indicated by a data type name. Data type names are shown on the Variable Manager variable list, and on the Select Data dialog box that appears when you are specifying a variable in any ClassPad application. The following table lists all of the variable data type names and explains the meaning of each.

Data Type Name	Data Type
EXPR	Real number, complex number or expression data
STR	String data
LIST	List data created using the Statistics application, Main application, etc.
MAT	Matrix data created using the Main application, etc.
PRGM*	General program
EXE*	Edit prohibited program
TEXT*	Text data
FUNC*	User-defined function
PICT*	Image data
	• ClassPad image data includes graph image data saved using the
	Store function, image data captured using the Presentation
	application, and picture data transferred from the FA-CP1.
GMEM*	Graph memory data saved using the Graph & Table application
	• For more information, see “Saving Graph Editor Data to Graph
	Memory” on page 3-3-14.
GEO*	Geometry application data
MEM*	General-purpose data
OTHR	Data other than that described above

* Protected variable types

Some data types are protected. A variable whose data type is protected cannot be overwritten with another variable, which protects variable contents from being inadvertently altered. Data types whose names are marked with an asterisk in the above table are protected.

Tip

•Note that whether or not a data type is protected is determined by the system. You cannot change the protection status of a data type.

•Even when a variable is a protected data type, you can rename, delete, or move it. To disable these operations, you need to lock the variable. For more information, see “Locking a Variable or Folder” on page 1-7-10.

•The elements of the LIST data type can contain EXPR or STR type data only. The elements of the MAT data type can contain EXPR type data only.
