UserĆDefined Variables

All user-defined variable names must satisfy the following requirements:

H The first character must be an alphabetical character.

H The rest of the name must consist of an alphabetical character(s), digit(s),

and/or an underscore(s) (_).

H The maximum number of characters is 16. All characters in excess of 16 are

ignored. Variables that have the same first 16 characters will be regarded as
identical.

H Alphabetical characters are case-insensitive. For example, FooBar and foobar

are handled as the same variable name.

H You can use user-defined variables in the program without first declaring

them.

H User-defined variables are 64-bit floating-point decimal numbers.

H A maximum of 100 variables may be included in a program; this includes

the reserved variables, such as clock.

H There are no string variables; all variables require a numeric value.

H Initial variable values are undefined.

The following are unavailable for user-defined variables.

H Reserved word variable names

H Constant names

H Function names

H Keywords (for example, if and marker1)
