The following is a description of the Value page on the Variable Properties window. Click the General tab for a description of the General page.

Value

Enter an initial value for the variable.  

In the case of the example, an initial value of 3 (three-dimensional array) with dim size of [5, 8, 2] will specify 5x8x2 elements as in this format:

{{{0, 1}, {0, 2}, {0, 3}, {0, 4}, {0, 5}, {0, 6}, {0, 7}, {0, 8}},
{{1, 1}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {1, 4}, {1, 5}, {1, 6}, {1, 7}, {1, 8}},
{{2, 1}, {2, 2}, {2, 3}, {2, 4}, {2, 5}, {2, 6}, {2, 7}, {2, 8}},
{{3, 1}, {3, 2}, {3, 3}, {3, 4}, {3, 5}, {3, 6}, {3, 7}, {3, 8}},
{{4, 1}, {4, 2}, {4, 3}, {4, 4}, {4, 5}, {4, 6}, {4, 7}, {4, 8}}}

For an initial value of two-dimensional array of size [2,3], you can enter the following:

{{1, 1, 1}, {2, 2, 2}}

An initial value of a string can be entered as:

"This is a string"

Const

If you are defining a constant, instead of a variable, select this checkbox.
