Global

variable

A character string that satisfies the naming conventions for variables, see naming.

It is permissible to redefine a global variable, changing its type if desired.

The value you wish to give to your global variable has to of one of the following types:

a constant Number, the True or False Logical constants, a constant String, the Nill constant of type Undefined;
a formula in terms of global variables, resulting in a Number, Logical, String, Histogram or Matrix.

If the value is not specified, then Nill will be assigned.

To enter a set of numbers into a Matrix, one should use the Vector statement.

Examples:

Global abc `abc`
Global abc 2<3
Global abc string(2+3)/abc

Go to the top level, to Global, to the topic index, to the table of contents, or to the full text.
