The list signifier,

¨

, which is not the same as the

L

from the

Text editor, is especially useful in programming when you

want to specify a group of numbers or text characters as a list

name.

¨

listname

The list signifier does not appear in front of a list name in the

List editor or in the - v

Ls

menu because it is obvious

which groups of text characters or numbers are list names.

Also, the list signifier is optional when entering commands

that take only list names for arguments. For example,

Select(

XList,YList

)

Although XList and YList are not preceded by the list

signifier, the calculator interprets them as list names since no

other types of arguments are accepted.
Also, when defining lists from the Home screen, the list

signifier is optional.

{1,2,3}

ABC

Since this command structure is only used with list names, the

calculator interprets

ABC

as

¨
