Calculator Memory. Like a calculator, the PC-2 can store numbers in memory locations when it is being used as
a calculator.
Unlike a calculator, the PC-2 has 52 fixed memory variables (A-Z for numerics and A$-Z$ for
characters). You can also assign many other variables such as A 1 or NM§. However, these variables will be stored
in the shared memory area normally used for programs.
There are two ways to assign values to a variable:
• Use alphanumeric labels, such as A, A$, AVERAGE
• Use an array in the format of
@
(n) where
@
is required and n can be an integer between 1-26.
If you use the alphanumeric label, there are a few alpha-combinations that the PC-2 has reserved for its own use
and you cannot use:
IF, LF, LN, ON, OR, TO, PI
Each variable may be used in the calculator mode as well as in a program. For example:
AC
