Using Built-In and User-Created Constants
A constant is a variable with a specific value stored to it. The CONS BLTIN menu items are
common constants built into the TI -86. You cannot edit the value of a built-in constant.
You can create your own constants and add them to the user-created constant menu for
easy access. To enter a user-created constant, you must use the user-created constant
editor (page 60); you cannot use X or
= to create a constant.
