Variables and Folders

I“library” Folder Variables

Variables in the “library” folder can be accessed without specifying a path name, regardless of the current folder.

Example: To create and access two variables, one located in the “library” folder and one located in another folder

SClassPad Operation

(1)With “main” specified as the current folder (the default), perform the following operation to create a variable named “eq1” and assign the indicated list data to it.

{1, 2, 3} 2 eq1U

(2)Keeping “main” specified as the current folder, perform the following operation to create a variable named “eq2” in the “library” folder, and assign the indicated list data to it.

{4, 5, 6} 2 library \ eq2 U

Specifies the “library” folder.

(3)Check the contents of the two variables. eq1 Ueq2 U

Since variable “eq2” is stored in the “library” folder, you do not need to indicate a path to access it.

(4)Change the current folder specification to “Test”.

Use the Basic Format dialog box (page 1-9-4) or the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1) to change the current folder specification.

(5)Perform the following operations to view the contents of variables “eq1” and “eq2”. eq1 U

Since this key operation does not access the “main” folder, the variable name (“eq1”) is displayed without showing the variable contents.

main\eq1 U

Specifying the path to the “main” folder where “eq1” is located displays the contents of the variable.
