Error Messages

Math ERROR

Cause: • The intermediate or final result of the calculation you are performing exceeds the allowable calculation range. • Your input exceeds the allowable input range (particularly when using functions). • The calculation you are performing contains an illegal mathematical operation (such as division by zero).

Action: • Check the input values, reduce the number of digits, and try again. • When using independent memory or a variable as the argument of a function, make sure that the memory or variable value is within the allowable range for the function.

Stack ERROR

Cause: The calculation you are performing has caused the capacity of the numeric stack or the command stack to be exceeded.

Action: • Simplify the calculation expression so it does not exceed the capacity of the stack. • Try splitting the calculation into two or more parts.

Syntax ERROR

Cause: There is a problem with the format of the calculation you are performing.

Action: Make necessary corrections.

Insufficient MEM Error

Cause: The configuration of TABLE Mode parameters caused more than 30 X-values to be generated for a table.

Action: Narrow the table calculation range by changing the Start, End, and Step values, and try again.

Argument ERROR

Cause: A non-integer argument was input for the random number function (RanInt#).

Action: Input only integers for the argument.
