&CELL: DEFINE

variable

The variable should be a string of at most 10\ characters, the first of which should be alphabetic. Special characters may be used, unless they coincide with any of the arithmetic operators.

The naming conventions for variable names should be observed.

The total number of variable names that can be stored is usually set to 100. If you need more, you'll have to recompile the program with a suitable value for MXVAR.

The variable name I is reserved as loop-variable.

value

The value should be a valid algebraic expression.

Each variable may be defined in terms of previously defined variables and redefinition of variables is permitted at any time.
