The Variable "i"

There is a 27th variable that you can access directly — the variable i. The



key

is labeled "i", and it means i whenever the A..Z annunciator is on. Although it
stores numbers as other variables do, i is special in that it can be used to refer to
other variables, including the statistics registers, using the (i) function. This is a
programming technique called indirect addressing that is covered under
"Indirectly Addressing Variables and Labels" in chapter 13.
