Memory

contents of local memory or ring-bound memory
Syntax 

Memory():TAGGED("Memory")
Memory(R:RING):TAGGED("Memory")

Description
The first form of this function prints the contents of the working memory, i.e, all non-global variables. The second form lists all global variables bound to the ring R.

For more information about memory in CoCoA, see the chapter entitled Memory Management.

Example 
  Use R ::= QQ[x,y,z];
  I := Ideal(x-y^2,xy-z^3);
  X := 14;
  ENV.R.Y := 5;  --  a global variable bound to R
                 -- "ENV.R" is equivalent to "MEMORY.ENV.R"
  Use S ::= QQ[a,b];
  J := Ideal(a,b);
  ENV.S.Z := 7;
  Memory();
["I", "J", "X"]
