If variable var does not exist, creates var and
initializes it to expression, list, or matrix.
If var already exists and if it is not locked or
protected, replaces its contents with
expression, list, or matrix.
Hint: If you plan to do symbolic
computations using undefined variables,
avoid storing anything into commonly used,
one-letter variables such as a, b, c, x, y, z, etc.

0b binaryNumber
0h hexadecimalNumber
Denotes a binary or hexadecimal number,
respectively. To enter a binary or hex
number, you must enter the 0b or 0h
prefix regardless of the Base mode.
Without a prefix, a number is treated as
decimal (base 10).
Results are displayed according to the
Base mode.
In Dec base mode:
0b10+0hF+10 ¸27
In Bin base mode:
0b10+0hF+10 ¸0b11011
In Hex base mode:
0b10+0hF+10 ¸0h1B
