Creating a Numerical Variable
Suppose you repeatedly use a volume measurement of 133 in your
calculations. Create a variable named VOL (for "volume") as follows:
Clear the stack and select the USER menu .
• 1

The USER menu shows your variables. It's blank because you haven't
created any variables yet.
Put the number in level 1.

Put the name 'VOL' in level 1.

Note that the closing , is added for you. The number 133 is lifted to
level 2. (In practice you don't need to press

but it's included
here for clarity.)
Create the variable VOL.
IL _____ I
The number and the name are removed from the stack, creating a
variable named VOL with a value of 133. Note that VOL now appears
in the USER menu.
