Storing Data into Variables

The HP 35s has 30 KB of memory, in which you can store numbers, equations, and programs. Numbers are stored in locations called variables, each named with a letter from A through Z. (You can choose the letter to remind you of what is stored there, such as B for bank balance and C for the speed of light.)

Example:

This example shows you how to store the value 3 in the variable A, first in RPN mode and then in ALG mode.

Switch to RPN mode (if necessary) Enter the value (3)

The Store command prompts for a letter; note the A…Z annunciator. The value 3 is stored in A and returned to the stack.

Switch to ALG mode (if necessary)
