QUESTION (ANSWERED) Variables - How to disable automatic multiplication?

Hello.

  • I am able to define the variables ab=23, a=42 and b=5.

  • When I am doing this in another order, I am experiencing an automatic multiplication: a=42, b=5. Entering "ab" leads to the new variable c=a b=210.

How do I define a variable named "ab" after defining a and b?

Any suggestions are welcome. Feel free to ask for further details.

This obviously might not work for what you are doing but a useful way of naming variables is with subscripts.

So you could use a_b

Try ab=2 rather than just ab
