Identifiers and variables

An identifier or variable stores a piece of information, such as a group or an integer. Each identifier has a unique name. For information about legal identifier names, see Identifier names.

To store the number 42 in the identifier called ans , type an assignment statement:

> ans := 42;

To see the value of this identifier, type a print-statement:

> print ans;
42

To use this identifier in an expression, put it in the expression like a mathematical variable:

> x := 100 - ans;

The intrinsic procedure ShowIdentifiers() shows all the identifiers which you have assigned, and ShowValues() shows them together with their values.
