Deleting variables

The simplest way of deleting variables is by using function PURGE. This

function can be accessed directly by using the TOOLS menu (

), or by

using the FILES menu

.

 

Using function PURGE in the stack in Algebraic mode

Our variable list contains variables p1, z1, Q, R, and α . We will use

command PURGE to delete variable p1. Press

.

executed:

„¡@@OK@@

I@PURGE@J@@p1@@`

The screen will now show variable p1 removed:

You can use the PURGE command to erase more than one variable by placing their names in a list in the argument of PURGE. For example, if now we wanted to purge variables R and Q, simultaneously, we can try the following exercise. Press :

I@PURGE@I@PURGE@„ä³J`@@@R!@@™

³@@p1@@

At this point, the screen will show the following‚ícommand³readyIJto@@@Q!@@be

 

 

 

 

To finish deleting the variables, press

. The screen will now show the

remaining variables:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using function PURGE in the stack in RPN mode

Assuming that our variable list contains the variables p1, z1, Q, R, and α . We will use command PURGE to delete variable p1. Press

. The screen will now show variable p1 removed:
