You can't define your own natural variables. However, Nspire has the following special variables you can use:

  • @n0...@n255: Restricted to natural numbers
  • @c0...@c255: Restricted to real numbers

You can replace the original variables with them by hand or for convience just put |x=@n0 and y=@n1 at the end of line.

Example: You are calculating fourier coefficients and know that variable k will only get real numbers from Σ operation. Replacing k with @n1 will simpilfy the function. Picture

(Calculator needs to be in RAD mode if you want to try)

The answer is no. Variables in NSpire store a value. A variable has no type. Solve might return @n1 in a result to indicate an arbitrary natural number, but you can tell solve to look for integer solutions only.
