Storing Data into Variables

The HP 32II has 384 bytes of user memory: memory that you can use to store
numbers, equations, and program lines. Numbers are stored in locations
called variables, each named with a letter from A through Z. (You can choose
the letter to remind you of what is stored there, such as B for bank balance
and C for the speed of light.)

3 - 1 P i c t u r e

1. Cursor prompts for variable.
2. Indicates letter keys are active.
3. Letter keys.

Each white letter is associated with a key and a unique variable. The letter
keys are automatically active when needed. (The A..Z annunciator in the
display confirms this.)

Note that the variables, X, Y, Z and T are different storage locations from the
X–register, Y–register, Z–register, and T–register in the stack.
