ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES
Errors
An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges,
or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an
error occurs, pressing
<
(or
>
) automatically moves the
cursor back to the place in the equation where the error oc-
curred. Edit the equation or press
ª
to clear the equation.
Error Codes and Error Types
Syntax error (Error 1):
•
An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.
Ex. 2
+-
5
=
Calculation error (Error 2):
•
The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result
equals or exceeds 10
100 .
• An attempt was made to divide by 0 (or an intermediate calcula-
tion resulted in zero).
• The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calcula-
tions.
Depth error (Error 3):
•
The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 10
buffers* for numeric values and 24 buffers for calculation instruc-
tions in the normal mode).
*5 buffers in other modes, and 1 buffer for Matrix/List data.
• Data items exceeded 100 in the statistics mode.
Equation too long (Error 4):
•
The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (142 charac-
ters).
An equation must be shorter than 142 characters.
Equation recall error (Error 5):
•
The stored equation contains a function not available in the mode
used to recall the equation. For example, if a numerical value with
numbers other than 0 and 1 is stored as a decimal, etc., it cannot
be recalled when the calculator is set to binary.
Memory over error (Error 6):
•
Equation exceeded the formula memory buffer (256 characters in
total in F1 - F4).
Invalid error (Error 7):
•
Matrix/list definition error or entering an invalid value.
Dimension error (Error 8):
•
Matrix/list dimensions inconsistent while calculation.
Invalid DIM error (Error 9):
•
Size of matrix/list exceeds calculation range.
No define error (Error 10):
•
Undefined matrix/list used in calculation.
