Storing £uid Recalling Variables

To store a

number

Variables

are storage locations for numbers or values. The

HP 38G has different categories of variables for different kinds

of data. The

names

for the variables are predefined. For real

numbers, there are 27 variable names available, A through Z

and 0. (Other categories and their names are in chapter 2.)

A variable holds just one value, so if you store a new number

in it, any previous number is lost.

You can store a number from Home’s edit line into a named

variable with the

{{STO^}}

(store) menu key.

({{STO^}}

appears on a menu-key label whenever it is possible to store a

value.) For example.

75{{STO^)}
