Within a method, the user may typically wish to define and process variables. The Graphical
Method Editor recognizes three types of variables: integers (numbers), floats (floating point
numbers), and strings (text variables).
Variables can be newly defined within the dialogs, if they occur
• on the left-hand side of an equation (e.g. x=0, or x=t+1), or
• within edit fields that hold only one variable.
If not explicitly requested (as is the case in the “Open file” dialog), the variable types are
identified automatically. For example, f=5 will generate a variable f of type integer.
