Variables and Folders

1-7 Variables and Folders

Your ClassPad lets you register text strings as variables. You can then use a variable to store a value, expression, string, list, matrix, etc. A variable can be recalled by a calculation to access its contents.

Variables are stored in folders. In addition to the default folders that are provided automatically, you can also create your own user folders. You can create user folders as required to group variables by type or any other criteria.

Folder TypesYour ClassPad stores variables in one of four types of folders described below.

Folder Type	Description
“system” Folder	This is one of the ClassPad’s reserved folders, which is provided by
	default. It is used for storage of system variables, which are pre-
	defined variables used by ClassPad applications and other system
	operations.
	Some examples of system variables are “list1” through “list6”, View
	Window parameters “xmin” and “xmax”, etc. A system variable can be
	accessed by any application simply by specifying the applicable
	variable name.
“library” Folder	Also a ClassPad reserved folder, the “library” folder can be used for
	storing user-created variables. Variables stored in the “library” folder
	can be accessed without specifying a path, regardless of the current
	folder setting (see next page).
“main” Folder	The “main” folder is also a ClassPad reserved folder, and acts as the
	default current folder. While the “main” folder is the current folder, all
	variables created by ClassPad application operations are stored here
	when you do not specify a path for variable storage.
User Folder	This is a folder created and named by you. You can make a user
	folder the current folder, move variables to a user folder, etc. You can
	also delete and rename a user folder as required. You can have up to
	87 user folders in ClassPad memory at one time.

Tip

•You cannot put a folder inside of another folder.

•You can view the contents of a folder using the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1). Note, however, that you cannot open the “system” folder for viewing.

•The “system” folder contents are listed within the (page of the keyboard when “Sys” is selected for “Form”.
