Example of a Local Variable
The following program segment shows a
For...EndFor loop
(which is discussed later in
this module). The variable
i
is the loop counter. In most cases, the variable
i
is used only
while the program is running.
Ê
Declares variable
i
as local.
Note:
As often as possible, use local variables for any variable that is used only within a
program and does not need to be stored after the program stops.
If you declare variable
i
as local, it is deleted automatically when the program stops so
that it does not use up memory.

What Causes an Undefined Variable Error Message?
An
Undefined
variable error message displays when you evaluate a user-defined
function or run a user-defined program that references a local variable that is not
initialized (assigned a value).
This example is a multi-statement function, rather than a program. Line breaks are
shown here, but you would type the text in the entry line as one continuous line, such as:
Define fact(n)=Func:Local…
where the ellipsis indicates the entry line text continues off-
screen.

:For i,0,5,1
