Checking variables contents
As an exercise on peeking into the contents of variables we will use the seven
variables entered in the exercise above. We showed how to use the FILES
menu to view the contents of a variable in an earlier exercise when we
created the variable A. In this section we will show a simple way to look into
the contents of a variable.
Pressing the soft menu key label for the variable
This procedure will show the contents of a variable as long as the variable
contains a numerical value or an algebraic value, or an array. For example,
for the variables listed above, press the following keys to see the contents of
the variables:
