Quick Start

INF means infinity, and can be obtained through erroneous operators such as division by zero.

NANs are Not A Number and are other error codes, generally for numbers which are out of range, such as trying to take the arcsine of 100. The numbers in brackets sometimes following NANs are specific error codes and are listed later in this manual.
