x is any valid variable or function name, matrix of names, or subscripted variable name. x cannot be a number or an expression.
a is any expression that can be evaluated. If a contains other variables, then those variables must also be defined either with the regular definition operator above the definition of x, or globally anywhere in the worksheet.
