Variables and Folders

eq2 w

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

Tip

Specifying a variable name that exists in both the current folder and the “library” folder causes the variable in the current folder to be accessed. For details about the variable access priority sequence and how to access variables in particular folders, see “Rules Governing Variable Access” on page 1-7-11.

You can use the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1) to move existing variables from the “main” folder or a user folder to the “library” folder, or from the “library” folder to other folders.

kUsing Stat Editor to Create a LIST Variable

Stat Editor makes creation of LIST variables (variables that contain list data) quick and easy. This capability really comes in handy when you need to perform a calculation (statistical calculations, etc.) that involves a large number of LIST variables.

Stat Editor appears as the initial screen when you start up the Statistics application. You can also access the Stat Editor window from the Main, Graph & Table, and eActivity applications.

Input a variable name like “list_t” into the title cell at the top of the list on the Stat Editor window (1), and then input values into the list (2). This creates a LIST variable with the name list_t that is assigned the contents of the list of data (2). The above example creates a LIST variable named “list_t” and assigns it the list data “{12, 24, 36}”.
