This menu is hierarchical. Each library lists the functions or other constructs it contains. The middle partition lists built-in libraries. At the bottom, are any libraries you have created or added. If you view and select a subitem when editing a definition, it pastes it into the definition.

! Description
|-
|Edit Definition
|Opens the appropriate view for editing the definition of the selected variable. If the variable is defined as a distribution or sequence, the 
Object Finder opens. If it is defined as a table or probability table, its edit table window opens. Otherwise, an Object window or Attribute 
panel opens, depending on the Edit attributes setting in the Preferences dialog (page 54).
|-
|Edit Time
|Opens the Object window for the Time system variable. See “The Time index” on page 322.
|-
|Paste Identifier
|Opens the Object Finder dialog for examining functions and variable identifiers, entering function parameters, and pasting them into definitions. See “Object Finder dialog” on page 112.
|-
|Show Invalid

Variables
|Displays a window listing all variables with invalid or missing definitions. See “Invalid variables” on page 355.
|-
|Math
|See “Math functions” on page 145.
|-
|Array
|See Chapter 11, “Arrays and Indexes,” and Chapter 12, “More Array Functions.”
|-
|Distribution
|See Chapter 15, “Probability Distributions.”
|-
|Special
|Displays a list of unusual or less commonly used functions in the Special library.
|-
|Statistical
|See “Statistical functions” on page 296.
|-
|Operators
|Arithmetic, comparison, logical, and conditional operators. See “Operators” on page 142.
|-
|System Variables
|System Variables submenu (see below).
|-
|Matrix
|See “Matrix functions” on page 224.
|-
|Text Functions
|See “Converting number to text” on page 147.
|-
|Financial
|See “Financial functions” on page 239.
|-
|Advanced Math
|See “Converting number to text” on page 147.
|-
|Database
|Appears only in Analytica Enterprise. See “Database functions” on page 410.
|-
|Optimizer
|Appears only if you have the Optimizer activated. See Optimizer Guide for more.
|-
|your libraries
|Lists the names of any libraries that you have defined or added to the model, each with a submenu that lists the functions contained in the library. See Chapter 20, “Building Functions and Libraries.”

! Description
|-
|AnalyticaEdition
|The edition of Analytica running, either “Optimizer”, “Enterprise”,

“Professional”, “Free 101”, “Power Player”, “Player”, “Trial”, “Lite”, “ADE” or

“ADE Optimizer”.
|-
|AnalyticaPlatform
|The operating system/platform. In Analytica for Windows, this is “Windows,”

in Analytica for Macintosh, this is “Macintosh,” and in the Analytica Decision

Engine this is “ADE.”
|-
|AnalyticaVersion
|An integer encoding the current build number of Analytica being run. In terms of the major release number, minor release number, and sub-minor release number, it is equal to:

<nowiki>''</nowiki>10K*Major + 100*Minor + SubMinor<nowiki>''</nowiki>

For example, Analytica 4.1 subminor version 2 returns the value 40102.
|-
|False
|The logical (Boolean) constant that evaluates numerically to zero.
|-
|IssampleEvalMode
|This is 1 when evaluated in Sample mode, or 0 when evaluated in Mid mode. You can use this in an expression when you need to compute a mid value differently than a probabilistic value.
|-
|Null
|A special system constant, returned by various functions when data does not exist at a requested location, and ignored by array-reducing functions when present in the cells of an array. See “Exception values INF, NAN, and NULL” on page 148.
|-
|Pi
|The ratio of circumference to the diameter of a circle.
|-
|Run
|The index for uncertainty sampling, defined as
Sequence(1, Samplesize).
|-
|SampleSize
|The number of sample iterations for probabilistic simulation. See

“Uncertainty Setup dialog” on page 257.
|-
|SampleWeighting
|When this variable to an array indexed by Run, a different weight can be assigned to each probabilistic sample point. See “Importance weighting” on page 291.
|-
|SvdIndex
|The SingularValueDecomp() function returns three matrices, 'U', 'W',

and 'V'. To return all three at once, the return value is an array indexed by

SvdIndex, which is equal to ['U','W','V'].
|-
|Time
|The index variable identifying the dimension for dynamic simulation (the Dynamic() function). See “The Time index” on page 322.
|-
|True
|The logical (Boolean) constant that evaluates numerically to nonzero.
