Variables and Folders

k“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

u ClassPad 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} Seq1w

(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} Slibrary \ eq2 w

Specifies the “library” folder.

(3)Check the contents of the two variables. eq1 w

eq2 w

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 14-3-1) 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 w

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

main\eq1 w

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