Tip
• As shown in the above example, assigning something to a variable with a name that does not
yet exist in the current folder causes a new variable with that name to be created. If a variable
with the specified name already exists in the current folder, the contents of the existing variable
are replaced with the newly assigned data, unless the existing variable is protected. For more
information about protected variables, see "Protected variable types" on page 1-7-3.
• To store the newly created variable in a folder other than the current folder, specify the variable
name as follows: <folder name>\<variable name>.
• You can use the Variable Manager to view the contents of a variable you create. For more
information, see "1-8 Using the Variable Manager".

multiple expressions. You can also drag "eq1" to another line.
(3) Perform the key operation below to input and execute the first expression:
x
eq1 +
