Variables and Folders
k “library” Folder Variables
Variables in the “library” folder can be accessed without specifying a path name, regardless
of the current folder.
Example: To create and access two variables, one located in the “library” folder and one
located in another folder
u ClassPad Operation
(1) With “main” specified as the current folder (the default), perform the following operation
to create a variable named “eq1” and assign the indicated list data to it.
{1, 2, 3} S eq1w
(2) Keeping “main” specified as the current folder, perform the following operation to create
a variable named “eq2” in the “library” folder, and assign the indicated list data to it.
{4, 5, 6} S library \ eq2 w
Specifies the “library” folder.
(3) Check the contents of the two variables.
eq1 w
(4) Change the current folder specification to “Test”.
•Use the Basic Format dialog box (page 14-3-1) or the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1)
to change the current folder specification.
(5) Perform the following operations to view the contents of variables “eq1” and “eq2”.
eq1 w
eq2 w
Since variable “eq2” is stored in the
“library” folder, you do not need to
indicate a path to access it.
Since this key operation does not access the
“main” folder, the variable name (“eq1”) is
displayed without showing the variable contents.
main\eq1 w
Specifying the path to the “main” folder
where “eq1” is located displays the
contents of the variable.
