Error Conditions

If you attempt a calculation containing an improper operation – say division
by zero – the display will show

Error

message, press any one key. This also restores the display prior to the

display.

The HP-15C has the following error messages. (The description of

Error 2

includes a list of statistical formulas used.)

Error 0: Improper Mathematics Operation

Illegal argument to math routine:

÷, where x = 0.
y, where:

 out of Complex mode, y < 0 and x is noninteger;
 out of Complex mode, y = 0 and x ≤ 0; or
 in Complex mode, y = 0 and Re(x) ≤ 0.

¤, where, out of Complex mode, x < 0.
∕, where x = 0.
o, where:

 out of Complex mode, x ≤ 0; or
 in Complex mode, x = 0.

Z, where:

 out of Complex mode, x ≤ 0; or
 in Complex mode, x = 0.

,, where, out of Complex mode, │x│> l.
{, where, out of Complex mode, │x│> l.
O ÷, where x = 0.
l ÷, where the contents of the addressed register = 0.
∆, where the value in the Y-register is 0.
H \, where, out of Complex mode, x< 1.
H ], where, out of Complex mode, │x│> 1.
